Fishergate

This always seems to be a nightmarish area for traffic to me. It is always busy with a one way system around the block with multiple lanes. I don't think that I have ever tried to negotiate the central block on foot for fear of getting mowed down by traffic. I'm not aware of Fishergate School ever having produced any famous pupils although one of the former teachers Mike Cooke does appear in an episode of Heartbeat where he is a musician for the Goathland Plough Stotts as they get off an old motor coach. Mike Cooke also ran a Longsword Group for some of the older lads at this school and for the 1st Heworth Scout group until he retired.
