Barnes 1960s
A Memory of Barnes.
I was so lucky to grow up in Barnes and haven't moved far away at all. We live in Sheen now so we still spend a lot of time in Barnes.
Our family christenings, weddings and funerals were in St Mary's and I was a Brownie and attended Sunday school in Kitson Hall in the 1960s. Later, when I had my own children I would take them to playgroups in Kitson Hall and then on to feed the ducks. No doubt I will be doing the same thing when/if I eventually have grandchildren!
I started school at Castelnau College but left when it closed in the mid-60s. Does anyone have any photos of Castelnau College?
My mother also grew up in Barnes and lived in Kentwode Green and then Madrid Road. She attended the little school on the green in the 1920s and would often talk of playing on the green by the pond. Does anyone have any photos of the building as a school? I have volunteered there in its current incarnation as a FISH Day Centre. It's lovely to see the St Osmund's children still enjoying that space, just as my mother did.
