hiya Lyn,

It was new when I went there in '53.

No, I don't remember any of the teachers,,,, (there was a young lady teacher that was murdered whilst on a cycling holiday in France).

I must have only been there for a few months I s'pose, cos I was still 5 or maybe six when we moved to Carlton (Board School).

I remember a couple of kids from around us (Elford Rise),, there were Stuart & Pamela Loverseed,,, Glen Messom (?!),,, Mick & Sue Healey and a lad called Arthur from Rossington Road, & I seem to recall a Blanchard (tho' not a christian name)

I can't remember any of my classmates names either (I do have a class photo which I want to put on here when I can find it),,,, one of them was a Savage girl (on this forum I think) and a pretty girl with blonde ringlets I seem to recall !?

I remember throwing up one day when having outdoor lessons ! It was a scorching hot day (hence outside) & I was with my back to the sun. The caretaker was called to throw sawdust on it,,,,,,, all schools seemed to have buckets of sawdust in those days, just for that eventuality !

Hi Baz, Glen Messom was in my class at school 4C he would be 72 years old now 

[Trent Bridge, + pleasure boating on the river.]

Hi, my great grandfather was a violinist on the pleasure boats on the river Trent around 1890 I believe the boat he worked on the most was called Sunbeam,

has anyone got any information of this era please
