Those Were The Days

A Memory of Seven Kings.

I attended both the Downshall infants and junior schools in the 1950's. I remember little about the infants school other than the Headmistress was a Mrs Knapman I believe. Teachers names I recall from the junior school were Mr. Freeman my form teacher for three consecutive years, Mr. Mooney, Miss Fox, Miss Woodward and the Headmaster Mr. Nutting I played for the schools football team thanks to Mr. Freeman but my over-riding memory of him was his ability with the slipper should I or any of my class mates do wrong. I am now 71, live in Wiltshire and have fond memories of the years of my childhood spent living in Westwood Road.
