Hello Sheil

I think that it may be useful for anyone helping to see the further details posted on

Have you tried contacting the college (if still there) to see if they have year books available? that might give you a chance to confirm the exact name?

If it was this school, more likely to have been working there in some capacity, not studying.

Thanks Patchem for useful info, I know Greggs was a college in the 40's. I'll do some more digging.

There was a Gregg College in Southampton @ Grosvenor Square, Southampton SO15 2BE. It became a British Listed Building in 1954 so assume the building is still there. Cannot find any info about the school though.
