During 1944 at 9 years old I was evacuated from my home in West Middlesex, together with my mother, and billeted with a family in Withern Road, Broxtowe. I was sent to The Player school that I recall as being somewhere along the Strelley road. My only recollection of my time there was not a particularly happy one. As I recall, the classrooms were arranged around three sides of the playground, below an awning. All the classroom doors looked identical. Returning at the last minute of a lunch break I inadvertently opened, only a few inches, a wrong door - and instantly closed it again.
