Childhood
A Memory of Ovingham.
I was born at 3 The Terrace, Ovingham 08.02.26 and started Ovingham School when I was 5 years old. It was a wonderful school - it had only 2 classrooms and the Headmaster was Mr Burns. I can still repeat all my tables (thanks to the school and without the aid of a computer).
My brother Arnold and sister May both passed their 11 plus and attended Hexham Grammar school . I left Ovingham when I was 10 and attended Gosforth Church School. I was the only boy in the school to pass my 11 plus and attended Gosforth Grammar school along with my bother Arnold. I have one photo of Ovingham School about 1932 and would love to swap with anyone with photos around the same period.
