School Dinners

Recreation Ground c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

You see the wooden building in the background? This is where we went for our school dinners when I attended Allendale Junior school. We walked in pairs along the road and down the path. Earlier on we might see the cooks leaving the kitchen which was next door to Jo Bells and wheel the dinners down on a trolley. Sadly the building is no longer there, nor is the tennis court, which we played on while attending the secondary school, but the area has been re-vamped and is looking good. It is so good to see the old dinner hut again.

Hi Sue Crikey, those school dinners, the peas and mash Ha Ha! Was Mr Coates Headmaster then? Also was Mrs Bell there as well, and was Peggy Warwick the cleaner at the time? Yea, Joe Bell the undertaker making the coffins - he made me a sledge for the snow. Regards Lee
