Davenham School, Leftwich.

A Memory of Davenham.

This was my first school, about 1953 I think. I lived on Leftwich Green, Dobells Road and either walked to school or got on the bus - never would be contemplated for a 5 yr old today. I was in love with Elspeth Bell and Kay Prestcott, but left the school in 1956 when my dad was sent abroad with ICI for 2 years, so another tale of unrequited love! I remember being marched up towards the church for medicals in the dinner hall I think, with a lot of scared kids in vests and pants waiting for injections. I lived next to Doreen Brown who used to take me to Sunday School at the church. She was a guide leader and WI stalwart. Like a second mum to me. Had a huge sow in her garden called Bessie.
