Downshall School 1950 1960

A Memory of Seven Kings.

I attended Downshall Infants, Junior and Seniors; not the happiest of days for me. I remember being treated quite badly by Mrs Mansell in junior school who really had it in for me because my mother was a bit of a trouble maker. Also, Miss Addiscot the PE mistress at the senior school who seemed to think that sport was the most important thing in life and bullied anyone who didn't agree!! I would dearly love to meet these two individuals now and put them straight. Happier memories were summers spent at Valentines Park, so much to do over there, cinema visits and trips to London on the central line. It was really good being in such easy reach of so many lesiure activities. I recently went back to visit the area, what a shock!!!!!

OH MY! Do I remember Mrs. Mansell. What a horrible woman she was. Not fit to be a teacher. She had it in for me too, I think because my parents owned a shop in Meads Lane.
I also remember Miss Triggs who was really nice.
When I left the junior school in 1953 I went (with 2 other girls in my class) to a co-educational boarding school near Reading.
I too went back in recent years and yes, it was a shock!!
I moved from Seven Kings in 1958 abd eventually came to USA. Now, in my retirement, I live in south-west Florida and one of the girls from Downshall, who I went to boarding school with, lives just 100 miles north of me. Small world!!!
