Village Hall, Roman Road

A Memory of Eastry.

Eastry has an important history and this is the Roman Road which went to Woodnesborough (after the god 'Woden') and to Sandwich to the right. The village hall to the left, through the open gates was the infants' school with Mrs Pemble and Mrs Capron, not the best of friends. They did a good job of getting us to read with no problems at all. No modern gimmicks, just 'Janet and John'. Because the gates were left open, I nearly ran straight under a fast moving car, about 1954. At age seven we went to the C of E primary school at the end of Church Street.
