I went to Pelham Street Infants School in the 1950s. I remember Miss Coe was the headmistress and another of the teachers was a Miss Gabitas. I remember we went on a day trip to Chessington Zoo and all had to wear labels.

The little lad sitting immediately in front of Patrick Lettres is Stanley Dixon who lived on Over Street. He had a brother Ronnie, now deceased, who worked at Allen West. After he left school Stanley became a telegram boy and spent the rest of his working life with the Post Office. He now lives in Portslade.

I started school at Pelham Street. about 1930-31. I remember writing on slate boards with a special pencil, then later using paper and pencil. If we broke our pencil we had to write with our finger nail! Sorry I don't remember any names from that era.

I went to Pelham Street School in the 40s, probably around 1948. I can't remember anything much about it and would love to hear comments from others who went to the school around that time and who may jog my memory.

I was there in the 1930s, and remember one of the teachers was a Mr Ingham, who was a bit of a bully. Not a very nice school!
