Grantham school’s first computer

April 11, 2019 by Grantham Matters 2 Comments

This was 1977/78, at Kings School Grantham . Local firm donated a computer to school – teacher was Mrs Timperley Computer Studies – I went to KGGS but we could take lessons at Kings in sixth form. Main computer at the back lifted off with ropes ! From Bev Clayton

    Great Photo! & Sydalls obviously donated it! Eh they talk about “cobblers” sons eh? Lost a good company there when “Old man retired” We all love our kids! But that must have been hard thing to watch die for the “Old man” Respected company UK wide! very good workers’ & tossed away by an “Ode Boy” that thought treating everyone like Crap was the right way! Nah ! never managed a decade before it folded A after Mr S’ signed over to who I sure he loved! Very disappointing to a very reputable roofing company! & many lost out! ………………… Talking Pensions! fkn wrong! But hey’ & going on old friends stories¬! So it may be wrong!!!!! Hey Travesties’ ay? Dont know how some can wake up & look themselves in the mirror of a morning! Nem mind eh! most not with us now! just feel for them that was “Dumped” thro’ pure lack of Acumen! Just old memories for me from the Day! who ever thought Sydalls would go! I never worked for them just knew many that did! & they “proud” yer know¬! & it got dumped! Shameful! fkn Shameful!

      Hello old boy! where have you been hiding?
      Got to agree (although I hate to admit it) with every word you say, Syddall’s had many a good worker, and it was sad to see the firm go. I don’t know the reasons for it’s demise. What sits on the site now is a car wash………,bit of a come down don’t you think.
      You say your selling up? What are you going to do then? You will be on this site watching what I am posting, give you something to look forward to.
      Winding you up he he not even started I’m just getting warm…………watch this site.
      Glad your back though..got a bit on the lonely side without your two penny worth.
