The Bus Stop
In 1961 I remember starting West Byfleet School and waiting by this bus stop for the bus to take all the Byfleet pupils home. Straight opposite the bus stop was the school uniform shop 'George C Wenn', everything had to be perfect and we had to wear hats, white ones in the summer and maroon and gold in the winter, we all looked very smart. I also remember rushing home to see the new television programme 'Coronation Street'... then out to play before tea.

RE: RE: The Bus Stop
How I remember everything - George C Wenn, I'm sure he had a deal with Fred Goodger to stitch us all up with buying uniforms only from him at inflated prices - I started at West Byfleet school in 1963 - it was stuck in the 1950s then! West Byfleet itself was a lovely little town, it was before the Sheer House development, now it's not so nice. I remember seeing Rick Parfit (from Status Quo) in the High Street (my mum taught his son) and he was a proper rock star - lived in Darnall Park and everything!
