Wartime Wycombe
A Memory of High Wycombe.
Evacuated here just before the war, I went to Wycombe Preparatory School for six months.
I later went to the High School, which was then up Amersham Hill.
The School Sports field was at the top of the hill, adjacent to the boys' Grammar School.
I remember leaving classrooms to go , very calmly and in an orderly line, to the brick Air Raid Shelter when the Air Raid Alarm sounded. I don't remember bombs near us! I now realise how interrupted our lessons had been. It did not appear to influence our scholastic achievement ! I left school at just over 17years old with my Higher School Certificate.
Was the old School pulled down when it was moved to Marlow Hill, at some point, perhaps about 1950? are there any pictures of the old High School? Ann Martyr
