ST. BOTOLPH'S SCHOOL.
« on: Thursday 13 January 11 05:49 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone provide me with an old  photo of St. Botolphs School in Boston please.   I don't think it has been a school for some years now.
Cheers,
Pat.

Im afraid I cant - although it is listed on Friends Reunited - and someone MIGHT have posted a photo of it on that site. I cant find out as I am no longer a member of said site.

I am writing mainly cos I saw Biggadike amongst your family interests and wondered if you were related to Richard & Priscilla Biggadike of Kirton in Holland, as I am....

Hi,
Thanks for answering my query.  As I am a member of  Friends Re-United I will check it out and see what I can find re St. Botolphs.
Yes, I am a member of the same Biggadike family you mention.  Richard, who was murdered was my  GGGrandfathers brother.  Where do you fit in?
Cheers, Pat.

Just out of interest did you manage to find a picture?  Was the building demolished, if not where was it/what did it look like?  Someone who lives locally may be able to get you a modern photo if that would be of any use.

If it's an older photo you're after and you have no luck here then maybe contacting Boston library or Lincolnshire Archives (in Lincoln) might help (possibly with a fee), but worth asking?

I'm so sorry to have taken so long to answer your post.  No unfortunately I couldn't find a pic of St. Botolph's School.
I'm not sure, but I think it was in Pump Square Boston.

I don't think it was actually in Pump Square, but I do believe it was in the Main Ridge area. A look on old maps should establish where it was.

Well, I am going back 60 years, so may be wrong.  But I don't really think so.  Shall be seeing my mother tomorrow, she will know.
Cheers,
Pat.

Hi again,
My mother thinks  Pump Square runs into Mainridge.   So maybe thats how I came to think it was in Pump Square.
Cheers,
Pt.
