East Sussex memories
Herons Ghyll R.C.Primary School
My memories are of Herons Ghyll R.C. Primary School, as I attended between 1949 and 1956,w hen Mrs Mary White was the headmistress, and Miss Duval was the teacher of the juniors. I shall remember also, Mrs Goody who was the lady in charge of meals that used to arrive from Uckfield. She lived near the school and I was able to visit her in the early 1970s before she passed on. Mrs White lived, as I remember, not far from Tonbridge. The days at this school were a joy, and I still have programmes of some of the plays we performed, including "Boots and the North Wind"! We as a family lived in Alderbrook Close in Crowborough, before moving to Mid Wales in 1956.
Whincroft
Is there anyone out there who remembers Whincroft School, or who was there c 1954 to 1961? I'd love to hear from them.
Happy School Days - I Was Anne Green!
Rosemary and Antoinette (were you Toni?) picked up my earlier, not very helpful, query since I used my married name and Barbara which was'nt ever used at school! What about Sandy Heathcote, and Mhari Bruce? And Hilary and Jane? It would be fun to hear from anyone. Barbara

Crowborough Exile
This certainly brings back some memories. I can remember my father plus a number of other people going to the Clock House Dairy in the High Street, to collect the milk, during the bad winter of 1963 when the snow prevented the milkman from delivering it. I would love to hear from anyone with whom I have subsequently lost touch, Evelyn Nicholson, nee Constable.
Walsh Manor
I was a pupil at Walsh Manor school about 1964 and was wondering if anyone has any pictures of the school or the history of the manor house. I loved being at the school as there was a farm attached where we used to go. The school itself was a lovely place to live and when I was there it was run by Mr and Mrs Hemmings. It was a girls boarding school. One teacher I remember was Mr Rose who took us for art or French. We had a lot of freedom and were allowed to go to the town on our own at the weekend. Sadly the school was closed down by the home office and turned into a boys school and now belongs to the Church of Scientology.
After I left I had to go to a restricted life at Uckfield convent. The nuns were strict but kind. If anyone has any memories I would love to hear from you. V Manning
Walsh Manor
l too was a pupil at Walsh Manor, unfortunately my memory of the school was not such a happy one. After l left l also went to St Michael's in Uckfield, which wasn't much better, although l made some life-long friends there, who l still keep in contact with and see.
It would be interesting to compare memories with others who also remember Walsh Manor at that time.
