Maylands Girls School

A Memory of Hornchurch.

As Gillian Ferguson as I was then I went to Maylands from 1965. I remember Mrs Parsons the music teacher, Miss Johannsen the Headmistress, Mr Carr/science and Mrs Walmsley. It was a great school to be at especially having to walk through the park every day twice. I actually walked all the way from near Bretons Scholl to Maylands "knocking for" Pat Mason, Linda Carvell Janice Ling and then finally met up with Susan Guest, Susan King and Dianne Murrel. Those were the days 🙂. Latterly I biked it and used to love zooming down the hiĺl in Elm Park! Hello to any one who remembers me.

Hi Gillian, I have just read your post and I am so sure I knew you at Maylands school. The names you mention sound so familiar. Did you go to Girl Guides at the Scargill School?
My friends were Nicola Stacey, Sue Pike, Linda Spencer( who lived at the Cottage Homes), Jennifer Wells, Ann Rivers…all of which I have lost touch with as they marry and change names and move out of the area. I moved to Australia in 1973 but moved from Hornchuch when I was 14. I did connect with Linda Furie and Sheila Urand. Do any of these names ring a bell with you?
