Worth School
I went to Worth School for my final yeat at junior school and took my "11+" there; for some reason a number of us moved to Worth from Three Bridges Junior school. I am not sure of the year but think it must have been 1953/4. I do remember the football pitch had quite an uphill slope!

In the background is the ivy-clad nine-arched bridge spanning the Fowey River.
Perhaps the best-known feature of Burnsall is its magnificent, five-arched stone bridge across the River Wharfe, seen here from the river.
This was designed by John Oldrid Scott, second son of the great Victorian architect, George Gilbert Scott, who built Clifton Hampden's bridge over the Thames further upstream, as well as St Pancras station
Seen from the footbridge to the Oxfordshire bank, the eleven-arch bridge is an 18th-century one that carries a vast amount of traffic, for Sonning is in effect Reading's eastern by-pass.
Thomas Hardy used the Manor at Wool as the setting for the disastrous honeymoon of Tess and Angel Clare in his novel 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles'.
This splendid view of the High Street as it ascends the hill towards the Guildhall was taken from the Town Bridge crossing the River Wey.
Looking down the hill from above the station, we see the bridge carrying the Settle- Carlisle railway line running along the edge of the village.
Two bridges and a ford cross the stream that flows past the Blue Anchor Inn, which stands at the centre of the village.
The three-mile trip along the Dee to Eccleston Ferry was, and remains, a popular summer season excursion. Here we have a small paddle steamer on the Eccleston Ferry/Eaton Hall run.
The Gate leads directly to Harnham Bridge over the River Avon. This was an important medieval trading entrance to the city for traders and travellers from the west.
Motorcycles with sidecars were a popular and economical means of getting about for ordinary people.
Aylesford is a perfectly sited village by the River Medway and the scene of many battles in ancient times.

The park on the south side of the old Dee bridge is known as Edgar's Field in memory of the Saxon king, Edgar.
A much earlier bridge was replaced by this one in 1853; at that time, the harbour was being improved for the export of copper ore and import of coal.
This Victorian structure replaced the old bridge. The metal central span was later rebuilt using stone, and until the building of the by-pass in 1974 it carried the heavy traffic of the A30.
This view shows the bridge into the castle, recently renewed, and the apse or semi-circular projection. This, like the one at the Tower of London, housed the castle chapel.
The meeting of the East and West Dart rivers has drawn tourists for as long as transport has been available.
The name of the bridge reflects the local trade which once existed in the area and, as in 60080 (page 84), the level nature of the towpath was an attraction for walkers 100 years ago, as
This stretch of the river to the left of the bridge is now Riverside Gardens, but in 1893 it was known as Gunstock Wharf.
