At School In Rustington
A Memory of Rustington.
I went to West Preston Manor school in 1959, first as a boarder and then as a day girl. It was a fine old manor house where the dormitories were and on the ground floor, the classrooms. In the basement was the dining room and the kitchen run by Alice. There was a country lane on the right of the main entrance, Pigeonhouse Lane which was very dark and overgrown with large trees. I lived in Park Drive, then not even asphalted and used to cyce to school. While I lived there, Churchill Parade was built perpendicular to Broadmark Parade. There was a dry cleaner, a smashing sweetshop, a supermarket and a bakery which belonged to my schoolfriend Marilyn´s parents.

We must have been there at the same time. My surname then was Raper and again a son of missionaries. Also there was Theodore lambourne,. The school closed here in 1948 as miss Firth died. Brian Acres like myself went onto Eltham College in London. Made famous but the Chariots of Fire film. Eric Liddell. Did you go onto Eltham as well. I do remember a ‘Fox’ there who was a contemporary of my brother
