The Old Almondburians' Society

Arthur Pilling is 90 years of age and is one of a very select band of Old Almondburians who attended the school in the very early days before the major expansion of 1938/9 that produced the new laboratories, classrooms (N1 , N2 and N3), Art Room and Gymnasium. His family were local farmers and Arthur soon decided that he also wanted to become a dairy farmer, much to the concern of Mr Taylor Dyson at the time. However, Taylor Dyson often visited the farm and was particularly fascinated by the milking machines.

Arthur is still a keen gardener and grows all his own vegetables in his back garden, which he still regards as his 'farm.'
