Henley on Thames Grammar School

Nobody seems to have mentioned memories of the grammar school. I attended the school during the Second World War when it was shared with a London school who were evacuated there, we used the classrooms in the mornings and the others used them in the afternoon. I remember taking Avril Harrison, a classmate to the cinema one day - my first daring encounter with the opposite sex. Nothing became of this date and I wonder where she is today (I am now 80 years old). One of our school afternoon lessons was gardening,  the food for the school kitchens was grown in the gardens.

RE: RE: Henley on Thames Grammar School

Further to Brian Carter's comment, I was at the Grammar School from 1934 to 1939. I was a contempory of Cliff Harrison - Avril's brother.
