Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I went to Chaigeley School since year 5 till year 9, it is a lovely building and I will always remember my memories from there.
Tree climbing was good fun in very large trees till it was banned when David Nash fell and hurt his back for a couple of days. Alarge tree opposite the headmaster's office had iron rungs to a top platform used for spotting approaching German planes in the Second World War. The platform had gone by 1951 and the iron rungs were disappearing into the expanding tree. There was a parrot at Chaigley early on for a short time, it might have been the post office parrot.
The time I spent at Chaigley was some of best years of my life. The memories are still clear, but the names have faded with time. I would like to hear from anyone that
will remember me.
I was known as David Armitage not William I have so many happy memories of Chaigley Mr Goynes was headmaster. I would love to hear from any old boys who remember me especialy Bob Price from Scunthorpe.
