For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

My 2 sisters and I, Carol, Susan and Diane Sullivan (me), went to Rosary Priory In 1968 and 1/2 of 1969. Carol was in the class that went on a trip to Portugal; Susan had a fiend named Geraldine; my friend was Gabrielle Mason Pearson. I remember Roger Moore driving up with his daughter, the many parts of the school uniform, the grotto, the room where the nuns served lunch, the nuns, the school grounds, the old ...see more
My name is Hilary Peck (Morris) I attended Rosary Priory from 1970 to 1976, my dear Mum who is 86 & still in good health was a teacher (needlework). Would love to hear from any fellow pupils, school days then were very different to today !!!
Hi does anyone remember the late 1950' at Rosary Priory? My name was then Jennfer Barnett. I can remember going on a trip with the school to Rome. I do still have photos of that.

I remember driving out to The Alpine for tea from North West London. It was an outing purely for Tea and Scones and it seemed like a long journey from NW10 to Bushey. Was in the 60's not as early as 1955!
My brother and I were two of the few boys that attended Roaary Priory from 1966 to 1970. Other boys attending at that time were Martin McDonald, Keith Putnam, Mark Porter, Timothy York, Guido Alzetto and Ramses Tadros, I remember playing soccer in the lower fields and exploring the abandoed farmhouse when the nuns weren't around. There were so few boys in our class, it tool all the boys in our class ...see more
i attended Rosary Priory from 1959 until 1964. The nuns I fondly remember are Sisters Alphonsus , De Pazzi and Barbara. Mrs Simpson took us for PE when we wore grey culotte shorts for netball and navy knickers for gym. My friends during my time at the school were Susan Rothwell and Amanda Clark
I started at Rosary Priory in 1953 when I was 8 and left at 18. I was so happy there that our 2 daughters attended the senior school until we moved to Wiltshire. When I first started at RP the only building was the beautiful old original one, but both new blocks were completed by the time I left. A few years ago I visited the convent, which had been totally separated from the school once it became ...see more
Hi, my name was Elizabeth Yeomans, I was in the same class as Zoe, Bernadette Parkes, Caroline(who was my best friend), Dawn , Kate, Laura and Angela. Would love to hear from anyone who was also there during this time. I was 6 in 1966 when I joined the junior school, and left at the end of year five in the high school, as we moved to Suffolk.
I attended Rosary Priory from September 1960 until July 1967 and was known as Shirley Hayward. I now use my full Christian name and have done for many years which is Shirley-Anne. I loved every minute (except for the Maths lessons - I was hopeless but Geometry was a doddle - strange that!) I didn't want to leave. My class spent the first couple of years in the huts while the new school was being built. ...see more
