Hi Tony- I would love to be able to add this photo to our ever growing school archive of class photos on the Hertford school website http://www.school-portal.co.uk/GroupRenderCustomPage.asp?GroupID=807393&ResourceID=2433932. Please let me know if this would be possible. Many thanks Tracey – Hertford Infant and Nursery School
The boy on the top row far right is Gerald not Graham and second row two in from the right is Micheal Whitmill.
Hello Tracey. Yes, that’s fine – please feel free to add the photo to the school website.
Many thanks Tony
Miss Tugwell, or Kathleen as I knew her, was my cousin. She went from Hertford Road school to be Headmistress at Middle Street school, Brighton. She died in 2009 at the age of 84.
Anyone still about in this photo, I would love to hear from them.
Just to say that the little girl next to me, Loraine Skinner, third row down, is Wendy Hood. It would be nice to know if any of the above gang are still in Brighton. Thanks Tony for this magical memory.
Just to say thank you for your comment about the photo i think i saw you in the five ways area Loraine could that have been you regards Tony Collier
I am in the above photo taken at Hertford Road School, I am sitting last on the left 2nd row from front! I remember Tony Collier, I went to tea with him. I used to live in Hollingbury Place and play with Wendy Hood and Lorraine Skinner! I still live in Sussex but not Brighton now.
I still have my school reports when I was in my dad’s (Mr. Hickman) class Christmas 1947 and July 1948.
There were 50 in my class that year! A far cry from today’s classes.
The comments were brief and to the point. e.g. Exc. , V.g. and so forth.
I also have my School swimming certificate dated Nov 1948 when I managed 100 yards at St Luke’s school swimming pool.
The curious point was that my dad taught us to swim but he couldn’t swim himself! The pool was small, 8 yards wide by 16 yards long so to get your ten yards certificate you had to swim at a slight angle from one corner.
