Clifton Street Annexe
A Memory of Swindon.
Hi
Anyone out there remember the Clifton Street School Annexe? I lived in Newburn Cres, not far away, in 1968-70, and went to school there. My Dad was a policeman and we lived in a police house next door to Jane Gresham who was friends with my sister.
Mr Edwards was my favourite teacher, he was Welsh.On Wednesdays we had to go to the Clifton Street School proper for assembly.We had a young Welsh girl teaching us sewing; one day we had a fire drill and she got a bit flustered. Mr Edwards said if it was a real we would have all been goners.
We had our school dinners in the hall, still can't eat fish pie or boullaibaisse to this day. Chocolate pudding with chocolate sauce was really good.
I seem to remember Nicola Frost, Glyn Davies, Janet with strawberry blond hair who kept rabbits, an older teacher (Welsh again) who only came in occasionaly to fill in. I remember Susannah?, she had blonde hair and her father ran the newsagent shop where we would all go and buy sweets.
