Kenington Manor

Forgotten all about the flck cards! Times were certainly simpler then we'd be out all day collecting frogs and newts from the old gravel pits, making tree houses now it's all x box!

I was there! The old reptile took delivery of a Marina coupe when the model was first launched, a white one, I believe. He gave me the cane once, a tad unfairly, I thought.

My form teacher was Mrs Sullivan, I think, though I remember Mr Buckland, Miss Thomas, who was American, there was an Aussie guy who tickled us with his (for us) unusual use of the language, and the lady who was our footie coach, who took us to St Mary's Bay for summer camp (what a blast!).

There was a bit of a hippie vibe going on with some of the younger teachers. A bunch of them shared a big house on the corner of Burgoyne.

The currency was cigarette cards, and the playground turned into a casino at lunchtime. Happy days, indeed!

Absolutely! We'd be out from dawn to dusk, kicking a ball or playing in the woodlands (all gone now).

Pretty much all of Sunbury was our playground and the flyover works was a gift from Heaven to a ten year old.

Great to read this, we had a scooter that we used to ride on the, soon to be M3 motorway all the way to Lightwater, happydays
Does anyone remember sunbury cross with the clock in the centre of the junction.
God I'm feeling old.
