School Days

Bridge Street 1908
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I used to have my hair cut in the barber shop on Bridge St usually before going to Saturday morning cinema.
I also did a paper round for the newsagent on the bridge, the round was in Caversham Heights where I lived in Albert Road.
School was at Caversham Secondary Modern, I really enjoyed school great time.
Left there in 1959. any one remember the school plays and ballroom dancing?

RE: RE: School Days

Hi Barry, I used to go to EP Collier on the other side of the river but our lunch place was in Caversham. So every day we had that walk or run over the river. I was very active in Old Time Ballroom dancing and clealy remember getting my Bronze, Silver and Gold medals. My teacher was named Mr Haslam. My dance partner at that time was called Jackie Pocock who lived near my school. this was from 1951-56.
