As I was an old boy at Mile Oak Approved in 1946, it saddens me to see it being demolished. I do believe the building was still standing in 1980 so when they started the demolition, I would like to know.  I left this school in 1950 which is 57 years ago but looking at the picture now, of it being demolished, I can reconise every window and door.  As to where they lead, I guess all the teachers have now passed.  But what fine memories I have of them - wonderful days which will never leave me. I am now 71 years young but as yet I have not been able to contact the old boys. Although many have died, surely I'm not alone alive? One or two of the old boys have answered my emails but neither attended while I was there. So once again, I will write my email and wait.
My nicknames were Jap, and Pick Lock. My house was Jellico. My email address is trevorwhitworth@hotmail.com

This picture is looking across the back quad and shows that the junior dormitory for Pevensey House has now gone. However it is possible to see the Pevensey landing and the door to the toilets (only two!). When I attended for interview in 1966 there was a notice pinned to one door "UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT". Mr Kane told me that the king pin of the house did not allow any other boy to use the first toilet, but had left the school that morning.

Where do I start? I have four and a half years of comments starting from 1954. I believe I was the longest serving boy, left alone when all friends had gone. Had to stop schooling at 15 and worked with Fred and Mr Minter in the boiler house. The rest of my life was OK but not so sweet as those years at Mile Oak.

Dear Trevor, I have just by luck manage to find this site and I also went to Mile Oak. It was about 1957 to about 1959 I always remember Mr Kane who caned the boys when thay had run away from the school. Mr Inwood was our house Master and Mrs Lovegroves. I was in dormitory three which is by the toilets you mention. I have just turned 68 now. Reply if you get this message. Charlie.
