Southall And Norwood Green Schools 1950s And 1960s
A Memory of Southall.
Miss Ball was headmistress, infants teacher was Miss Lidstone, and first year teacher was Miss Curtain when I was at Clifton Road school in the early 1950s. My best friend was Alan Newall, whatever happened to him? I remember ice slides on the playground, outdoor toilets, twisting stairs, and the Lollypop shop opposite.
I was among the first year at the new George Tomlinson Junior Mixed, at Top Locks, where we did country dancing in the field. Miss Davis was sweet, Miss Roberts was strict, and Mr. Kersley tried to teach us football. Barge children would sometimes join our class for a day or two. My friends were from the Havelock Road estate or Norwood Green (Melbury, Minterne, Shaftesbury Avenues, and Tentelow Lane, etc): Susan, Sylvia, Marian, Cary, Avril, Vivian, Jessica, Keith, David, Donny, Michael... Then there was Marta, a blond pigtailed refugee from the Hungarian uprising of 1956.
Best wishes to all.
