Downend County Primary School

A Memory of Downend.

I went to this primary not long after it opened. My DOB is 04/10/1953, infants then on to the juniors. I remember Mr Malpass and Miss Brake, Mrs Rubery, Mr King, Mr Garland, Mr Britten and horrible Mr Harris! Can't remember the woman who took the top class in juniors but she was very harsh....taught needlework with very little patience.

I was Hilary Fussell back then in my class I recall Stephen Richards whose dad was a doctor, David Eastwood son of a butcher, Katherine Gamblyn who was my friend, Sian Doe, Jenny Hayes, Andrew Coomes...Gregory someone who played an accordian.

If anybody has any photos, please pass them on to me via this site.

I do remember playing rounders and the posts were old world war helmets.
