A Kirton Holme Boyhood .
I was born in a farmhouse called Bank House Farm on 20th Nov 1945. In 2 days I shall be 65. I was educated at Kirton Holme County Primary School. My teachers were Mrs Brown, Mrs Shawe, Mr R Tomblinson, and later headmaster Mr "Tommy" Hammond. Before my time, the headmaster was a Mr Barnfield, who was leader of the Home Guard, and I believe later went to Australia. I was number 5 of 6 children. My sisters were (are) Sylvia, Gwyneth, and Edna. My brothers are Bill and Dean. Boys I remember from scool were: David Brown, Brian Scarborough, Barry Williamson,Peter and Raymond Horry, Ken Twell, and the Kings; Brian, Peter, David, Edward. David Lunn and John Knight. Sorry if I missed anyone. Girls: Pamela Clay, Susan Henson, Daphny Pitts, Christine Cordley, the Halls, Mary, Margaret, Frances. Also Edward Hall, Elisabeth Quayle, and her sister whose name I forget. Michael Nunday and sister Beryl. Carol Twell. Again, sorry if I missed anyone. Tommy Hammond, the headmaster, was a very good teacher of mathematics. I now live at Boston. kenliquorpond@tiscali.co.uk

Hi Ken, I was just reading your post, and I recognised the name Christine Cordley. I went to Kirton Holme also, under the name Julie Pirie. I was wondering if you could tell me any more about Chistine? I attended Kirton Holme from 1956/61. Look forward to hearing from you. Julie.

Hi Julie. I left Kirton Holme school in 1957 or 58. I am sorry to say that I don't remember you as obviously you are younger than me. I seem to think that Christine Cordley lived on Station Road, Hubberts Bridge, or one of the lanes off it. The last time I saw Christine was about 1967 in the Wheatsheaf Inn at Swineshead. By then she had grown into a very attractive young lady with long blonde hair. Those were the days my friend, we thought they would never end ... I would guess that she probably still lives in the area. Regards, Ken
