The Bus to Bredurst

The Bredhurst bus did indeed pass the Jezreels but it was a number 38 (not 8). I was at Gillingham Grammar School from 1948 to 1955 and used regularly to catch that bus to my home in Forge Lane, Bredhust. I have vivid memories of running up Barnesole Rd ( the school was in Third Ave then) desperate not to miss the bus. If I did it meant an hour's wait or a walk from Wigmore - mostly on unlit and unmadeup roads in those days. Who remembers the annual Christmas dance we used to have with the girls from Chatham Grammar School and the agony of practices beforehand?
