The school which you mention was known as Greggs High School and it was situated in Heathfield, Swansea.   It was a private school and entry was gained through passing an entrance examination.  It provided a commercial education for both boys and girls.    There was another similar establishment in Swansea called Clark's College - this was situated on St Helen's Road near the YMCA.   I believe that the building is now a Quaker Church.    You will find both Greggs and Clark's on Friends Reunited site.

The school you're refering to was just below the old Grammar School that was formerly the Deaf and Dumb Institute. When the Grammar School in Mount Pleasant was bombed during the blitz, they took over the building until we moved to Bishop Gore in Sketty in about 1952. The boys used to cut through Greggs to catch buses in Christina Street.

I attended Gregg High School in 1969 to do a 6 month TOPPS course arranged by the Government in Shorthand and Typing.  I cannot remember its exact location but it was in the centre of Swansea.

My mother also went to Greggs to learn short-hand but that was in the 1920s so the school was there for a long time.

I attended Gregg College of Commerce in Swansea from 1963 to 1965. It's location overlooked the town. Building is still there and looks the same. Gregg High School was next door.
