Merland Rise Infant School
A Memory of Tattenham Corner.
I remember well receiving the Silver Jubilee coin (still have it!) when my sister and I had just started at Merland Rise Primary School. The headteacher became Mrs. Pepper but I can't recall the name of the lovely lady who was headteacher before her. We used to always go to Tattenham Corner Station to wave at the Queen on Derby Day with the school, but like other memories posted here, we never saw the Queen, only a waving glove! We used to have to use toilet rolls trimmed with red, white and blue crepe paper to wave! Magical memories. I grew up in Merland Rise from 1972 until I left in May 1997.
It still looks much the same when I look on Google Maps. I see Masters and the Co-op still at Tattie Corner.
