Hilton Biscombe was born in Stellenbosch, where he attened Lückoff School. He studied at UWC (University of Western Cape), worked for a few years at Stellenbosch Winery and became an art school teacher (for 25 years). While teaching he returned to WCU, this time enjoyed his studies, "had the time of his life", completing the course of Afrikaans and Psychology.

*Die Vlakte - of which the Old Lückhoff School largely formed the centre of activities - was an area between Victoria, Bird and Joubert Streets and Banhoek Road in Stellenbosch - and from which people were forced to move under the Group Areas Act.

Lückhoff was the first Afrikaans high school for coloured people in the Boland. The building was erected in 1938; some years after the school had started out in loose-standing houses and other buildings. Learners from as far as South West Africa (today Namibia) attended the school and by 1969 it had more than a thousand learners.
