LEESON S SCHOOL

High Street c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I remember going to Leesons (Private School). It was run by Mr and Mrs Leeson with the assistance of their daughter Joy - sadly it was closed many years ago and there is a developement of several houses built on the site now. I think it was in Southampton Road, it was the road that linked Fawley to Holbury (bypassing The Pentagon and Blackfield). I worked for Ken Wheeler briefly, delivering the Echo each evening. My passion in those days was horses (still love them), I would spend most weekends down at Mopley at a riding stables owned by Albert Nicholas. I went to Hardley School for 2 years after Leesons closed. I also remember the Esso Club and the Saturday night dances - it was the only place to go to for social life in those days.
