Rose Lea School Pupil.

A Memory of Hillam.

I was a pupil at Rose Lea School and have happy memories of my time there. Mr and Mrs Meredith were indeed lovely people and shaped my life. It was a rather privileged education with Shakespeare, poetry and music an important element, along with (very progressive for the times) cricket! I was devastated when the school closed and my education suffered afterwards.
My name was Pamela Weston before I was married; I wonder if there are many of us left.

As Steven had started school I went to work at a young ladies school at Hillam, run by Mr. & Mrs. Meredith. They had five little boys and I looked after the younger ones as she was the French teacher and Mr. Meredith was the Head Master. Steven would go to play with the boys, they had a room full of trains so he had a lovely time with them. They took him on holiday with them one year, they were very nice people.
