My thanks to Barbara for producing this photo, I too was born in February 1947 and lived at 138 Wiston Road, my sister Josephine was 5 years older. Neither of us recall having these photos so it was a huge surprise and brought back many fond memories of our childhood. Micky Elphick also lived in Wiston Road but I can't help with the missing names. You have done so well to remember so many. I have been into the 1950 Whitehawk site and read the many stories from old school friends and neighbours, it has been really enjoyable. Thanks once again.

Is there any way to adjust this photo to make it larger like the others please?

Editor's note:
Sorry Sue but the scanned photo is not big enough to do this. To make it show large we have to have a a larger sized original of the photo.

Hi Eddie,it's good to know that somebody has seen the photo which must have been taken just before we moved up to the junior school. It's the only school photo I seem to have. Goodness knows how I recalled those names - must have the memory of an elephant! Perhaps that's why I did quite well in exams. I remember your sister as well and think that she was a friend (maybe girlfriend) of my brother Robin. When we were at junior school, was it you who 'headbutted' the railings at the end of a running race? As you say, reading the comments on the 1950 site brings back so many memories, but oh how the estate has changed! Perhaps in the future more people will have a look at the photo and may be able to fill in the gaps.

Barbara, you have an amazing memory and yes I hit the railings and still carry the scar to prove it. My sister has posted some comments on the 1950s site, and was interested to catch up with all the news. It will be interesting to see if others see the photo and post a comment.

Hi, I vividly remember Eddie running into the railings on that trial sports day. I also remember you Barbara and I think I recognise most of the faces in the photo. I am seeing Jenny Blunt on a regular basis for coffee and chats about our days at school. It's lovely to keep in touch.

Hi all, nice to see all those names again. I look foreward to hearing any news from you Christine Chapman - get in touch, haven't seen you since you left Asda.

Hello to both Christine and Sandra. Are either of you or Jenny Blunt in the photo? Christine did you live down by St David's Hall or in that vicinity? Shame not everybody in the picture can be named. Last time we visited Brighton, I took a bus trip around Whitehawk and found it very hard to recognise anything of the area. Only from the top of the racecourse could I plot where any of the old streets were.

Message for Christine Chapman. Did you live at 100, Hervey road? I lived at 104. Jenny Blunt lived opposite you.

Hi, Eddie. I've recently been contacted by some of the ex pupils of 3AX, 4AX & the 5th form. If you are interested in getting in touch with them (most of them are 'boys'), please let me know through this site or post an email address. Regards

Hi Sandra, I lived in Whitehawk Road. Is Margaret your mother? We went to school together. Also, went to a small youth club at the bottom of Whitehawk Road around 1962. Others were Brian Easen, Harold Johnson, Linda Andrews, Janet Hunt. I wonder if the names will ring a bell with her.

Hi Sandra: I was good mates with your brother Mick we call him Fred. I still see him at football sometimes.

Hi Keith. I live in the USA now - have three grown kids, two over there, seven grandkids and a great granddaughter. How are you Iris (funny I have a close friend now about her age who was in the QA's - lives in the US now too). Oh and Vic? How are you all? I often think of you all, especially Brian, you and Harold - you were so funny - did you know I dragged Harold's sister out of the sea when she was in trouble once - about drowned myself - and then when I got near the shore a bunch of big strong blokes ran down and carried her off - bloody left me there gasping! Anyone can email me direct at lindabb@gmail.com
