Walsh Manor Boys School Crowbourgh

A Memory of Crowborough.

I lived here from 1970 to 1973
The boys I remember were Malcolm Wilkins, Philip Eldridge, Henry fuller, Sean Cope. Teachers were
Mr Laycock, Mr Hanner, Mr Trelforth, Mr Clegg, Mr Beardsall and Miss McGuiness. Mrs Fionet was the secretary. I remember the cloakroom we all sat down in one day as someone had stolen Miss McGuiness' purse !!!! She found it !!!
Days out at Toad Rock, Tunbridge Wells, fishing at Mrs Pridows. If you were well behaved for one month you had what they called a privilege !! We all had nicknames - mine was Padlock.
Bedtime was at 19.30 sharp ! You played up !! everyone had to run around the football pitch !!
Mr Hanner bought a brand new Mk 3 ford cortina j reg - rare now !! All the boys, including myself, had problems.
I often think of those days & the beautiful countryside that surrounded the school & the two cattle grids !! As you entered & left Walsh's road
Clive chadburn 🖐️ Philip Eldridge!!! I remember you !!!!
