Whitehawk Primary School

Class photograph c1951

By Sue Beckett

This is my school photo taken at Whitehawk Primary school I think it 1951 as I was 5yrs old then. I am the 4th girl in from right in front row the boy next to me is Ian Bingham

Other people I remember in the photo are:

Back row Daryl Wilson 2nd one in from left (he went to Australia I think) on other end ? Robinson

3rd row Maxwell Withers (2nd one in from left) (7th in left) Jacky Sheppard (10th one in left) Betty Kirby (11th one in left) June Atterbury

2nd row – I am not sure of anyone here.

Front row 2nd girl in from left Maureen? Ian Bingham; Susan Bennett; end girl Mel Jones

Looking forward to more names being added – do you recognise yourself – or anyone else?

Hi Sue, is the blond girl, fourth from last on the back row, not Carol Hitchings?

Is that working in from right? Plus who is J H, where you in this picture?

By Susan Beckett (nee Bennett) (27/11/2009)

Well, now you have it from the horses mouth, (whoops sorry dear, the boss just clipped my ear). That is Carol Hitchings and the only one she can remember and confirm is; June Atterbury, as stated by you.

By JH (27/11/2009)

Hi Sue, she is directly above you in the back row, but cannot recall you at this time.

By JH (28/11/2009)

Hi JH: I guess you are the hubby of Carol. I remember the name; where in Whitehawk did she live? I lived Twineham Road. Does she remember whom she was pals with at school? I would be interested to know. I was pals in later years with Maria Clark, Rene Martin and Joyce Page.

I think this photo above was taken either 1952/53 by looking at the other photos on this site as some of the children in the other photos I recognise and are younger than me.

This message is for Maria Clark, Hi Maria this is Shirley from California. I just found this web site and saw your picture, it's been a very long time, lets chat. Here is me e-mail address: Shirley.terry@bbraun.com

Hi Sue, I'm not the boy in the back row, I'm actually slouching 2nd row, fourth from the right.

Hi Darrell. Well I never expected you to reply on this site. I thought you and your family emigrated to Australia or was it someone like you? It would be nice to hear from you. Who was the one I got mixed up for you?
