About this objectEmbroidered badge, part of the uniform of a student at Old Hale Way School
The school was known as Old Hale Way School between 1940-1955, Bessemer School between 1955-1974 and finally Hitchin School between 1974-1988.
When the school building was knocked down in October 1992 Bob Prebble, a former student, was inspired to write a book so as the history of the school would not be forgotten. His book 'Before the paint was dry' was published in 2002 with the help of donations of school infromation and objects following his appeals in the local press. He received this badge following his appeals.
