Gains Secondary Modern School

A Memory of Upminster.

I spent just under two years at the wonderful Gains Secondary Modern School. It was at a point when it was growing and there was a lot of building work going on but I did see it finished before I left. We came from South Ockendon's Mardyke Junior school so Gains was big with about 800 in the school. The school was set in its ways and you had to behave, which we all did. I had many good friends at the school but left in May 1963 to move to Gainsborough in Lincolnshire. That is 50 years ago, where did that time go? So who is out there from the early 1960's who might have known me?
