Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I remember Mr Dodds, he was an amazing teacher. Although I was a girl and girls couldn't take woodwork classes, Mr Dodd let me join the woodwork club after school, I had a brilliant time.
I still have the stool and ladder made in Mr Dods woodwork class. Some of the teachers I have fond memories of Mr Baker rural studies, Mr Horsnal. That bully of a teacher who seemed to like slapping the girls. He stood them on a chair first. The gardening teacher who lived in Aylesford. Mr Butcher the music teacher. Almost all with fond memories. I have lived in France for 20 years and have lost contact with all the class of 4B1. I was born in 1940.

I was at Holmesdale School from 1952 to 56, then returned in 1960 as head grounds man, when it had a farm run by Mr Baker, nice man. I remember Mr dodd and lots of the old teachers. I married a local girl and still live in Snodland. The school don't look as I remember it, it looks rather jumbled up.
My husband Jime Iles was at Holmesdale School from 1956 to 1960. He won many awards for his metalwork and wood work with Mr Dodds. He lived in Tomlins Cottages in Snodland which have now been demolished. He worked at Holborough Cement works for a few years as his father Jim Iles (snr) who is 90 this year. We all now live in Perth Western Australia.
