Does Does Anyone Remember Me? I Lived on Alta Road
We used to live at number 20 (next to the junior school), there was myself, Geoff, Geraldine, Liz my siblings and my mum and dad, my dad was called Kenneth Douglas and was a WW2 warrant officer, my mum's name was Mini Douglas. I wuld love to get in contact with anyone who attended the junior school at Blackdown Camp between 1955-1960, my teacher's name was Mr. Skeat. Some names I remember are: Sheila Salmon who used to practice high jump for the school with me, Robin Bailey who lived opposite us and ? Mooney who used to live next door to us and who played the trumpet! Names are very vague nowdays. Paul Dunkley rings a bell too... I would love to hear from anyone back in the old days.

RE: RE: Does Does Anyone Remember Me? I Lived on Alta Road
Hello, I don't personally remember your name, but I went to Blackdown Junior School and remember Mr Skeats (my favourite teacher) and also Mrs Skan (or Scan), scary teacher! I remember the name Dunkley, several brothers, one called Paul? We lived in Malta Road for a while, very close to the school, and would play ball games against the brick wall which surrounded the school. I'm still in touch with Brenda Gutteridge from those days and other names I remember: Tony Reid and Sally Webster are two. I had five brothers, John, David were older, plus Paul and twin brothers Alec and Allan. We moved to Cyprus Road, near the infants school. I learned to swim in the open air swimming pool, which had a big fountain in the grounds. Also regularly went to the Saturday cinema behind the Naafi buildings, 6d entrance!
