I’ve set up this website so that if anyone else is interested, there’s a forum for like-minded Hydneye House Old Boys who can read any notes which appear and comment if they like. HHS OBs - and others of course, can always email me on 2ndmktx@gmail.com, and send notes, pictures etc. in any form. I'll put them up in the posts, and attribute them as well! This is really our own place! All the magazines are here now. To see any of them, just click the arrows on the Blog Archive list!

Right, I'll try again to add some names. From left to right, on the window side: Hay, Andrew (A. M.) Scott, Simon Hicks. Alastair Dukes, Anthony Satchell, Tom Boltjes, and then, nearest the camera, Drummond. Any advance on that?
That's pretty good Simon, I wonder if Simon Hickes went to his dad's architectural practice in Hastings.
I'm in touch with Tom Boltjes via email, and Bert, his older brother, who is in Mexico now!
Or was it Hickes, with an 'e'? He was Simon Timothy, so his nickname was of course Sticks. We went to stay with each other in the hols and knew each other quite well. I met him some years after leaving Hydneye, and he was training to be a priest.
I'm pretty sure it was with an 'E', he was the spitting image of his dad (Arthur), whom I met a few years later, as I was involved with some buildings in Hastings in the sixties!
It was Stevens and Partners (I think), and then was one of the biggest practices around! He was a Day Boy wasn't he?
Do you remember Philip Blatchley?
He had a business in Hastings a few years ago, may still be there, on The Ridge, not far from the school!
Funnily enough, Simon Hickes was a boarder, even though he lived close enough to have been able to walk to school!
Philip Blatchley doesn't ring a bell I'm afraid.
