 * If this hasn't been added to the list yet I have an alternative suggestion.
 * ALT1: "... that George Marshall founded Exhall Grange, Britain's first school for partially sighted children in 1951?"
 * Wasn't he a cofounder? Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:43, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I get the impression it was his idea, but that yes, he was a co-founder, in which case let's go for: "... that George Marshall co-founded Exhall Grange, Britain's first school for partially sighted children in 1951?"
 * I see in the source that he founded the Partially Sighted Society, but nothing about founding the school. Headmaster, yes. Founding, no. As an aside, odd that a website to aid the visually impaired would have their text so small... Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:06, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, let's go for the original hook. The closest I can get to it is this reference from the Nuneaton News which says the school was his brainchild. I can add that if it helps, but am happy to use the thread that's already been verified. Incidentally I agree with you about the Partially Sighted Society's website. The background colour's pretty horrible too. Paul MacDermott (talk) 11:01, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
