Thames House Hutton Poplars, Shenfield

A Memory of Shenfield.

Hello everyone. I have quite nice memories of Hutton Poplars. I was there from 1959 - 1963. My name then was Jennifer Saunders. I was 13 when I first there having come from Woodvale in West Norwood. It was a stable time in my life. I was in Thames house and went to school by train to Mile End to attend school at St. Paul's Way. I only remember a girl called Charlotte Moore. I loved the woods and the donkeys. There was a Youth Club and a swimming pool. I can't remember the names of the House mother and father. I was naughty once when I ran away taking a friend with me. We were going to Southend and took a little case with swimsuit and swim hat. We were hitch hiking along the main road and was promptly picked up by a undercover policeman and taken to the police station and given milk and penguins! I would love to know how I could obtain my files. I think there may be some answers to some questions I have. Best wishes Jennifer
