Schools

A Memory of Hanworth.

I was born in Feltham and lived there for 20 years, I went to a school in Boundary Road - Lafone Secondary for Girls. Also in the same road there was the boys' school, DeBroome (not sure of spelling). Anyway, having looked on Google the girls' school seems to have vanished, which suprises me as it was a newish building in the 1960s. I had a lot of friends at that school, some from Feltham and some from Hanworth. I remember going to the cinema at Hanworth for the Saturday morning matinee and I also went to a dance school around the corner from there. I have not returned to this area since moving to Hampshire.

Hi Maureen, thanks for your letter. Sadly I am not familiar with those names so I can't give you any news ☹️️ I was at Lafone from 1962-66 I only remember mrs bosher- maths, mrs ash-music, mrs wilkinson -RE and another one who used to tell war stories taught English. Perhaps you were there before or even afterwards? I had a girl in my class called pat cole - any relation to you.
