Where Can The Grammar School Be?
A Memory of Shepton Mallet.
At a guess! My visits to Shepton mallet were infrequent as I lived near Bristol as a child. But loved coming to see my Grandmother at no 1 Barren Down (mrs E A Crook)A school was at the back of her house, I wondered if it was the original grammar school? I was free to go beyond to the railway, and wave to the steam engine driver! My Mother was Ethel Rose Crook, I believe she married from barren Down, she had 11siblings originally, so we visited some of her sisters too, if we had the time. One Mrs Beatie Blinman at 10 Great Ostry,she was my Mothers bridesmaid in 1918!There was 6children in that family, Betty, Douglas,Stanley,Iris,Margaret, n Phyllis, and Uncle George Blinman was a builder.
MrsIvy Emery lived at the Batch so we usually managed to call on her too before getting the bus back to Bristol. I loved to go to Collett park, which was special because in the country we did'nt have a park! We bought fish n chips so we made no extra work for Grannie, that was also a treat! Always a queue there by the Market Cross for fish n chips! Sadly all my Mothers family are at the cemetery now but my memory of them lives on...it would be great to hear from anyone from the above family or knows them! My maiden name was Hale.
