Mardyke School c1960
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

This photo is of Mardyke School in Cruick Avenue, South Ockendon. I lived in Elwick Road just 100 yards around the corner and attended Mardyke (Infants and Juniors) between 1954 and 1960. The photo has been taken from the main school gates in Cruick Avenue and the infants' playground is shown. The flower border to the right of the pavement in the foreground was always stocked full of roses. It was a great school and I very much enjoyed my time there - Mr Smith was my form teacher in my final year (1960). Others in my class included Terry Rampling, Robert Lees, Peter Cecil, Malcolm Smith, Marilyn Mayger, Linda Kindell, John Banyard.
