Entering "Royds Hall School+Huddersfield" will find numerous websites and references. It was one of the top grammar schools in the Huddersfield area, now known I believe as Royds Hall High School, so I expect it went the way of so many grammar schools and became a dumbed-down comprehensive. When I was at Elland Grammar School in the 1950s - now called the Brooksbank School and also a comprehensive - I played in the school chess team and we played many times against Royds Hall. They usually beat us! -- Roy Stockdill Guild of One-Name Studies: www.one-name.org Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
