Miss Payne was the teacher of the 6 year olds at St John's in the 1940s to 1950s.

This photograph was kindly given to me by her husband; it is undated.

The children all seem to be enjoying the climbing frame, especially the three boys right at the top! I doubt that children would be allowed on a school climbing frame now, which is a great shame!

I am the boy on top of the frame holding Miss Payne's hand. The date must have been around 1956-7. I can name some of the boys: Alan South (next to me), Wally Grant, David Denyer, Peter Carron & Roy Moseby.

I lived at 15 White St and attended the Infants School and the Junior Scool for a short time, before moving to Haywards Heath. I still have my school report signed by Miss C. Payne. How wonderful to see a photo of her after all these years. Miss Grout, had the classroom upstairs. I had a feeling that Miss Payne married 1947/8. I remember the afternoon sleep, in the nursery class. What a wonderful collection of photographs, which I am not on, nor can I at present put any names to.
