Mr Hinton's class photo is dated incorrectly. It should read 1961. Sorry my mistake.

Hi Tony, I had just left the Downs School, when these pictures were taken, but my sister is Barbara Hagon, third from the right top row . and her best friend March Howe is next to Mr. Foster. The bottom picture is indeed Mr. Hinton, he was my last teacher at junior school, before I went to Margaret Hardy. I must forward the pictue to my sister Barbara, who now lives in Cornwall. I have lived in Australia for the past 30 years. I remembeer Mr. Hinton, as being a very good teacher.

Hi Tony, I didn't realise that this was the same class one year later. Also I didn't know that Barbara had been taught by Mr. Hinton as I had. Barbara and Marth are standing together in this picture, third and fourth second row from the top. I will email her, and I am sure that she will remember most of the class names. I am 3 years older then her, I recognise a lot of the faces, but I don't know their names.

Just a few of the names that spring to mind, Valerie Tompsett, Richard Venner, Richard Dixon, Carlton Coath, Richard? Beck & ? Woods. Seems a lot of Richards? It's amazing to see the difference in facial and body growth a year can make. Hope this may jog some memories.

I'm sure I recognise some of these faces! I think it's the class I would have been in if we hadn't moved to Portslade in 1958. I was in Mr Taylor's class in the prefabs before the move. I have a photo somewhere with the names written in on the back - will dig it out.
