Sunday School Outing: the boys

By Dennis Parrett

This may well another photo of Bentham Road Sunday School but with boys in a boat. The other photo I submitted is of girls. The two young ladies in the boat are the same two as those sitting together in the front row on the right of the leaders; the one on the right is wearing the same hat and cardigan. The one on the left is my Mother. They both look not to have aged so I think it is still 1921. I do not know if this was at Hassocks.

Sunday School Outing?

This looks like it could be the Chinese Gardens which were at Hurstpierpoint.

That had not occurred to me; I think you could well be right Bob. The Ladies' Sunday School outing was to Hassocks so this was in the vicinity. By coincidence I understand that my wife's stepfather's family ran the Chinese Gardens for a number of years. They were in the licensed trade and her stepfather, George Pearn, eventually took over the Preston Park Hotel. It is a small world.
