I was a Police Sergeant at Stevenage asked to provide a presence for public safety when, at the final part of the demolition, the chimney stack was going to be ‘blown’.
As a former pupil (1970-77) I was struck by the coincidence of me being there at the end.
I liberated a fragment of the grey brick stack as a keepsake – with the approval of the site manager of course!
My friend worked for the local authority and after the closure they removed big areas of St Michaels playing fields to re-turf other schools in Stevenage and Letchworth
