Wrens Warren Camp School
In 1949 I was a pupil at Wrens Warren Camp School near Colemans Hatch. The school was housed in long huts which I believe to have been used in the war. It was a school for children who had been ill and needed some form of convalescence whilst still able to attend lessons.
The headmaster was a Mr Punch, and the head for the girls was a Miss Hoad. We slept in long dormitories and the whole place was quite austere.
I would love to hear from any other member who was there.

RE: RE: Wrens Warren Camp School
I'm trying to revive some old memories of my youth.
I lived in a cul-de-sac off Kidds Hill, Colemans Hatch, in the last house on the left, which was a large, converted, stone built barn.
The Ward's, including Daphne (my girlfriend) lived in a caravan right next to Kidds Hill.
This was between Nov 1948 and Feb 1949.
Do you happen to remember her, me, the name of the Cul-de-Sac or the name of the house?
