This spring view taken in the 1960s from the bridge over the burn from near Eldon Grove shows the steps up to the bowling greens and in the background is the Brinkburn Boys' Grammar School, now the 6th form College.
Today the bridge is metal, the school exterior has been remodelled and the bowling greens have a high fence around them.
Many students both then and now have crossed the Burn Valley on their way to school.

Location
The Boys' Grammar School moved from premises within the Technical College to Brinkburn in 1939. The building briefly became part of Brinkburn Comprehensive School and is now Hartlepool 6th form College.
See also photos for the Technical High School for Boys, as prior to 1939 the town's Grammar School boys also attended the Lauder Street building.
