Cookes House 50th Reunion
Posted: 23/11/2015
Old Bromsgrovians returned to School on Saturday, 21st November to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of Cookes House.
Cookes House, led by Mr and Mrs Schilzzi, was only in being for 8 years, when in 1972 the House split into Lyttelton and Walters.
OBs and guests were welcomed with a Chapel Service, where memories came flooding back when the Chamber Choir sang ‘Heaven’s Declare’ - the School Song from the 1960s and 1970s.
During tours of the current Thomas Cookes House, many OBs visited the original 18-bedder on the top floor (which some still believe is haunted) and recounted tales of their school days whilst looking around Cookes Room, their former library. Guests later sat down to lunch in the Hospitality Suite where the reminiscences continued.
