This mosr recent Website Addition page from the Autumn 2025 Newsletter includes a few recently found photographs and newspaper articles that feature MDC members, a Markhouse School class group, a football team, a much cherished former post school caretaker and several MDC members in another one of their hobbies – but this time at Marsh Street Youth Centre – as shown here!

This latest range of memorabilia added to the website has several school class photographs including a very much more recent ‘mini reunion mode’ – along with a number of new names added to the former members list, additional photographs added to the ‘Thornage Hall’ and ‘Saves Lives – Drop The Knives’ CMMF Projects, details of the very last Markhouse pupli to win the prestigious Lord McEntee Award. There is also a ‘recent re-union’ photograph and story, with its humourous ‘GCE Examnation context, in the websites Memories page.

These website additions include a newly found Report of our ‘forgotten’ entry in the 1965 ‘Youth Speaks’ Festival, several items about Mark House School, a prestigious ‘Borough wide’ McEntee Award for a MDC member, a new page for Marsh Street Youth Centre and the report on the CMMF Project at Kelmscott School, Walthamstow – from which this feature picture is taken. On a very sad note the additions also include a tribute to Bill Chapman.

These latest additions include some limited memorabilia from several plays and a range of Guardian Newspaper Report about Markhouse School – including some very recently discovered ones relating to the Parents Petitioning the Council over the threatened closure of the school

This batch of newly found production memorabilia and photographs of former members are complemented with recently coloured photographs replacing the original black and white versions from a good number of MDC plays – as this photograph of the cast from the 1968 Aladdin Pantomime shows.
