More about this scene

The Woolpack Inn, a medieval building, is situated where several roads meet. Its name suggests obvious links with past local industry, and its beers were supplied by Frome United Ales.

Ravenscroft School From 1951 1958

I attended this school from 1951 -1958 and Mr Henry Francis Bailey ( with his wife Mary ) was always the head. At least till the time I left in 1958.
