Dockenfield Manor School

A Memory of Dockenfield.

During the war years Dockenfield Manor was a school which I attended as our home in London was destroyed by bombs. For some reason I seem to remember the school was transferred from the Isle of Wight for the duration of the war. I used to help a local lad from the farm next door bring in the cows. We were both around 7 years old. One day we saw a V1 heading towards our school then it turned off and we heard it landed in Aldershot. When in the Army in 1956 in Germany I met the only survivor from the family it killed.
We used to skate on Frensham Ponds in the winter. I caught my first fish and nearly drowned in the local river on another occasion.
