Life At The Lafford School And Village
A Memory of Billinghay.
I fondly remember the time I spent in Billinghay as the science teacher at The Lafford School, one of three new schools built at the same time in the 1960's.
I also ran some adult evening classes and one evening was offered a hive of bees from a couple of people with the same name as their offer, Mr and Mrs Bee! I collected the bees on a trolley and, one Saturday morning, wheeled the bees through the village, past the doctor's house and surgery to my house, one of a small group built by the Local Council for rent.
The pupils and I planted 4 acres of horticultural gardens along with several hundred trees, (mainly from Loaghton Forest), around the school perimeter. We even grew cocoa plants, and other exotics in the school greenhouse.
