Matt Thomas… What a fantastic picture

John Gale… Heather McCartney front row far right,,, Nick Howe top row far left John Curtess 2nd row 2nd from the right (I think)

Alan Esdaile… Rose Watling second in front row and Rose said , one of the Chapman brothers is at the back.

Willie Wicking… was at primary school with Rose & knew her brothers well Ian

Toby Johnson… If there’s one thing that hasn’t changed over the decades, it’s how weird art students are

Markos Eva… Wow. Can’t be Rod Harman at the back in the middle can it??

Martin Richer… Dinos ?

Nick Tutt… Dinos. Jake would have been too young then

Rose Watling… Yes it’s definitely Dinos Chapman in the picture, also Rod Harman at the back. Just below Dinos is Rosemary ?, then below her is Liz ?, to the right of Liz is Claudine – our life model, and next to her is Judith ? – sorry I can’t remember anyone’s surnames. Fourth from right, second row (with his hand on his head) is Gavin Upstill.

Lisa Jensen… Tony Collie standing far left – white shirt?

Deborah Wilson… What a fab photo … I was doing a secretarial course at Archery road at this time but used to hang out with the art students in the Fiesta cafe

Jean Lofts…  is that a young Jeb on Rods right? Must have passed you in Fiesta cafe Debs

Ivan Bailey… Wow I love this photo, above Heather McCartney is Tyrone Dawson and I’m on the right of Rod Harman and that is defo Dinos Chapman. Did Tony Collie take the photo as I don’t see him?

Yetty Yusuf… I’m keen to speak to anyone who went to the art school at the Brassey for an art exhibition. The exhibition is taking place in Hastings next year and I’m looking for former students at Hastings School of Art at the Brassey building.

John Mcewen… I went to art school there, apparently with Derek Riggs of Iron Maiden fame. I’m told he remembers me but sadly I can’t say the same.

Mike Waghorne… Now the library !

John Mcewen…. it’s always been the library. The art school was on the top floors.

Mike Waghorne… John, yes I worked on the past referb there !

Lloyd Johnson… John, Yes! That’s right I went there in 62/63…

Tara Reddy… awh this is so lovely, I was looking for contributions last year but we had no responses for a project based on the Trinity Triangle. The group who have been involved have done a great job though and have created a lovely mural with characters and places that reflect that unique area of Hastings…there are so many interesting hidden histories in this town and I doubt the mural covers it all but hopefully will be a pleasant artwork to share with the community.

Carol Acott… I went to Saturday morning art classes there when I was at senior school
