Colden Common School

My memory of Colden Common School, is mainly around the teachers. Mr Wilkie the Head, and Mrs Gundrie (Spelling).  Also in my day the toilets were outside (and still standing when I last went by).  There was no playing field for the school, we had to go to Colden Common 'Rec on Sports Day. The 'houses' were split on colour lines, as far as I remember Red, Yellow Green, and Blue. I seem to remember I was in Red.  The School had no dinner hall with it this required crossing the Main Road, (See my other memory).  I remember Benny Hill walking past the school, as his family owned a store on Fisher's Pond (now demolished), and causing great excitement.  Such simple memories from a far off age!
