Queen's Park Infants School

Class photograph c1947

I Remember some faces

This is a photo of a class group taken at Queens Park Infants school probably around 1947. I am not absolutely sure about this as photo not dated. I am at the very back of class far right between two boys, I remember some of the faces; Donald Japes, Peter Burton, Wendy Trollope.

Was it Miss Divall?

I think the teacher's name was Miss Divall but I am not sure. The headmistress was Miss Goldring and her breath always smelled of garlic (though I did not know that was the smell at the time). Funny the things you remember.

See someone you recognise?

I now live in the beautiful golf village of Pinehurst, North Carolina, USA, but I still have very happy memories of Brighton. If you can identify yourself, or anyone else in this photo, please leave a message below.
