Thrown Down The Bank
A Memory of Bassaleg.
From Machen junior mixed to Bassaleg in 1959 ( I think) this reminds me of being 'initiated' by being chucked down the bank. fond memories of my stay there but not of the then headmaster-Penry-Reese- He was hopeless. Other teachers made a huge impression on my life to come, like Miss Mainwaring (or Mannering) in English and 'Carrots' who was lovely and had red hair. POD( Percy Olwyn Davies) teaching french was not a nice man.
I think Bassaleg Grammar School formed the basis of my whole life to come and I shall never forget it.
