Few familiar faces …… I was Theresa Heading back in the day.
I was trying to find Jaqueline Pollard re geneology, and saw this photo, when she had helped me a long time ago.
I had to get my glasses to see if it was myself because it was so familar. It wasn’t me, but it looks like the mirror. Same clothes, hair, etc, and I would definitely be at the same time/age, etc.
I really only thought there was just one class per year at that stage,it could have been this or the year before, maybe? It was a lovely school.
They didn’t know about the air raid shelters when I went there, but I went to see it maybe 8 years ago. So interesting. They had some people who had been evacuees. Do see/meet some, so we can still. Will try next year!
The Argus tonight had an obit message that Jaqueline Pollard[Connatty] died recently aged 77. She was an old colleague of mine and a very helpful local historian. Funeral on July 7th.
Oh my god! I’m in the middle row right in the middle with the tie on.
Could the teacher be Miss Tidmann? She was my teacher at Downs in 1970 I believe.
