St Davids College High Wycombe
A Memory of High Wycombe.
My name is Brian Efford, I was evacuated to Bolter End in 1940. I went to St Davids College from 1946 to 1956. I used to catch the 37 Thames Valley bus to High Wycombe station and walk across Amersham Hill road to St Davids.I now live in Adelaide Australia, I would love to hear from anyone who was at St Davids with me.

they presented me with the first sports award, it was a bright plain red hat with a huge gold tassel on top, imagine having to wear that on the 37 bus to Bolter End, were there any tassels around when you were there? Keep in contact wittawirra@gmail.com Brian Efford,
Re the closing of St Davids College, On one of my many trips back to the UK I visited the High Wycombe library and asked if they had any information on St Davids surprisingly not one of the people I spoke to could remember any school by the railway station with bright red uniforms. I did however find an article in an old Bucks Free Press dated 20th September 1963, the article is headed ' WYCOMBE CO-ED SCHOOL TO BE CLOSED", if you cannot find this article I can email you a copy. Some differences when I attended St Davids was the sports field was at the top of Amersham Hill called Redford sports ground, the uniforms were purchased at Peace Balantine & Goodwin on Castle St and the gold rings on the boys hats were reserved for prefects.
I still have not heard from anyone in my class the names I remember are Arthur Andrews, John Bonniface, Peter Greenough, Victor Goodall, Timorthy Sarni, John Gillon, Nobby Stiles, Judy Steele, Pamela Pitts, Maureen Burt, Margaret Clark, Valerie Price. Does anyone know any of these people?
I would be very happy to hear from anyone remembering me. I currently live in Hertfordshire and Tenerife.
