Ealing Grammar in The Good Old Days

Grammar School, The Green c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

My family returned emergently to Ealing, from the U.S., in late 1969. We lived with my widowed grandfather in North Ealing and I was sent to school at Ealing Grammar. As we were not sure how long we would be staying, the headmaster, Mr. Hartwell, agreed to let me go to school in street clothes. So, for three months, I was the only boy allowed to wear regular clothes. The school had barely changed from this earlier photo, but was a fabulous place to get an education, for which I shall always be grateful.
