Going To School
A Memory of Mitcham.
I was evacuated to Fenny Stratford, Bletchley, Buckinghamshire to be with my aunt. Whilst there I sat an exam called "the 11 plus" which I passed and on the basis of which I was awarded a scholarship to Mitcham County Grammar School for Boys. But in 1941 that school was evacuated to Weston-super-Mare so I spent my first secondary school year at Wallington County Grammar School for Boys. I can see a road running from left to right at the far side of the Green and in 1941, the 115 bus stopped there whose route was from Croydon (I think) to Wallington. I caught that bus every morning until the Mitcham School returned from evacuation in 1942.
