More about this scene

The Aldborough Road estates were established by the 1900s, and their own church of St John had been built by 1903. However, the Ordnance Survey maps surveyed shortly after the First World War show that the development had stopped short of this view. These shops were built around 1930.

Does any one remember Mr Crisp a qualified fa coach and also history teacher
I attended the school between 1955 and 1959. Memories of the Headmaster Mr Nutting and teachers Mr Mooney, Mrs Fox, Miss Woodward and my class teacher of three years Mr. Freeman. Was, to my great surprise, picked to play football for the school in my last year - remember team mates Barry Semke, Kenneth O'Brien, Ronnie Haynes the goalkeeper and Terence Simpkin. Lived in Westwood Road and walked to school each day along Meads Lane. Happy days. Moved to Surrey in '59.

Mrs Cooke, Miss Anderson, Miss Barton and Mr Davies were among my favourites at Junior School and I used to visit for many years after I had left school and moved away. I was at Secondary school between 1964 and 1970 ...see more
I remember walking from St. Albans road to downshall and home for lunch. Horrible walk along that long road
