Headmistress At Nutfield C Of E Primary
A Memory of Nutfield.
I visited Nutfield when I was 4 or 5 with my granny Lillian Curry - who was headmistress (a grand term for the head teacher of a 2 room school) of Nutfield C of E. She must have been appointed in the late 1930s and worked there for 20 years - through the war - and retired in the mid 1950s. She recalled the terrible smell of the trains she caught from Carshalton Beeches in 1940 after Dunkirk - the soldiers had been transported in them after weeks of retreat across France and days standing in the sea waiting for boats.
I wonder if any of her pupils are still in the village?

My parents Harold and Doris Brown ran the Post Office Stores together with my mums sister and brother in law, Marjorie and George Kitson.
Incidently, I now live in Carshalton Beeches and am now 72 years old. If there is anyone out there who remembers us I would love to hear from them.

Did she also teach at the infant School in South Nutfield? I have happy memories of that school. I still know people who were there with me.
