When Chris Rea wrote the song "Stainsby Girls", what was the signifigance of the town Stainsby?

Question

He's a Midlesborough lad, born and bred, and Stainsby is miles away in Derbyshire, so whatever made him think to write a song about falling in love with a girl from Stainsby?
Is that perhaps where his wife orinally comes from?

Answer 1

When he sings Stainsby he is not talking about the town of Stainsby
It ia actually a posh girls school called "Stainsby" near his school when he was a teenager.
He was actually in love with a girl from the school not the town.
