Newent And Pickelnash School

A Memory of Newent.

I'd have to work out the date, but around there. I moved to Newent from Wales and used to live in a nice little house just down from the Black Dog on the corner of Church Street, if anyone has photos before it was knocked down.
I had some good friends in the Picklenash School, they probably won't remember me, the Welsh boy, Susan Kettle, Ginette Winterbottom but a few. Hope I didn't get the spelling wrong. I was only there a few years before moving back to Wales.
The family who used to live next door, their name slips my memory at the moment, I'm getting over a stroke. I think the father was on the refuge waggon.
I would be interested in what you are all doing these days.

I was born in South Wales but we moved to Newent in 1953 (after a few years in Oxfordshire) & my younger sister Sue, younger brother Stephen & I went to Picklenash. I remember Susan Kettle, she was I think in my younger sister's class. The Head master was Mr Cyril Stokes, the reception class teacher who taught my sister was Mrs Barnet (she was my friend's grandmother & lived in Church Street) & my teachers were Mrs Williams, Miss Bourton, Mr Woolford (music) Mrs Clarke, Mr Baker & Miss Parry. The school keeper was Mr Ayland. All well liked & respected. You would remember I'm sure some of these names. What years were you there?
Ah, it was Jennifer K at school with my sister, not Susan Kettle...but must be the same family ..
Susan Kettle! We were both in Miss Parry's class in 1963 and she did have an older sister.
Others I remember: Lynn Scragg, Anne Wadley, Susan Eyles, Valerie Large, Collette Perillo, Vivienne Stokes, Barbara Jones, Leslie Spencer, Nigel Clarke, Adrian Davis, Paul Redgrave, Gary Geoffries, Willie Wetson, Ian Webb, Paddy Andrews, Keith Davies, Alan Wood, Clive Goodman and about 10 others whose names escape me at the moment.
