I'm pretty sure this photo is the Acorn School which I attended from the age of 3 in 1950 until 1956. I was Diane Weekley then. I have wonderful memories of the two women who ran the School. I think they were sisters. The gardens and grounds gave us endless nature rambles and backdrops for various dramatic productions. I was born in The Drive and lived in Wellingborough until I left for University in 1965. I also attended Croyland Junior School and Wellingborough High School.
