Flag Day at School
I was one of 7 children that lived at Tile House, Bolton Lodge. I attended Bolton Percy C of E Primary School. I am not quite sure what this flag day event was for, but I remember it was always a sunny day, so it must have been in the summer. All the children used to go into the playground and wave flags as a parade of people went by. I can remember some were in wheelchairs and I am sure this happened every year. It was a very special day that stays in my memory, but I can't remember what the parade was for (it can't have been a rememberence for the war because it was summer time, not November), does anyone else remember this event? Or does anyone else have any other memories of Bolton Percy? I would love to know. We visited the village about 2 years ago and spoke to somone in the pub who told us when the school closed they had an exhibition of old photos and memorabilia, unfortunately I could not attend this but I was told that a previous teacher from the school has the photos etc. Does anyone know who this is? I would love to see the photos etc! I was born in 1959, so would love to hear from someone of a similar age.

Hi, I was born at Bolton Percy in 1966. My dad used to work for Battys. The teacher you are looking for is Hazel Crittal, who now lives up at Batty Old House, I hope this is some use to you. Yours faithfully, Chris Woodhead
