Grammar school boys

I noticed that Sir Clive Granger, Nobel Laureate “for methods of analyzing economic time series with common trends (cointegration)" who sadly died last month, went to West Bridgford Grammar School


“My first lucky break was in 1946 when my father returned from the war and his job took him to Nottingham. He bought a nice house in a middle-class suburb called West Bridgford and I would cycle many miles each day to and from the Grammar School, which was middle sized”


Where he overlapped with Malcolm Bradbury, who was there from 1943 to 1950



Not bad for one middle-sized Grammar School
