Bexley Tech

A Memory of Bexleyheath.

Reading some of those memories of students at what is now a still -thriving grammar school is so nostalgic.
I went to BTHSG 1974-81 & just loved it. Not quite sure what that says about me.

Reading the 60s students' recollections about Miss Grainger (whose house we all went to on a ramble back from Lullinton), Mrs Strong and the inimitable Miss Turnbull, to whom I will be ever thankful for for my life long love of literature and my career, was amazing. Those women seemed ancient at the time. They weren't I'm sure. They were just successful, strong, clever women teaching us their subjects.

I didn't stay in touch with many and eventually none but those I knew were amazing women. I was very fortunate to have that experience.

I went to BTHSG from 1959 to 1965 I remember Miss Grainger and Miss Turnbull..In fact I married her brother! I agree she was a fantastic teacher. In 1965 she would have been about 30. It was her first school as a teacher and she stayed there for the whole of her career.
