Barry Hill is in the front row, second on the right, as you look at the photo.
Who are the three children
on the ends, on the left, and the girl at the
end of the bottom row on the right? I know all
the others, It’s been bugging me for years. I am
next to the teacher, who I believe was Miss
Taylor. See story Those
Old School Days
Chris Kitchenham says:
Back row far right, I think may be Graham King,
the adopted son of Jim and Ethel King , also
mentioned in my “A
Young Boy Remembers The War Years in Plumstead”
story.
Seeing some of the
Timbercroft pictures brought to mind some of the
kids that attended while I was there . Do any of
these names sound familiar to anyone?
Dennis Wray Tuam Road
Football. Outside right ,with me as inside
right. We went to the Roan School Later
Graham Lee Edison Grove. Also football team
Derek Garnham Chelsworth drive. Tennis
Gerald “Boy” Collins Garland Rd. Football
Peter Costa Garland Rd. Football player. Later

Joan Rierdon Timbercroft Lane. I think she was
the one that made me realise that girls were so
much better to look at than boys.
Beryl Peddington (Nash) Lancaster St. Peg and I
had the chance to meet her and her husband,
after they moved to canada
Julie Lovering Flaxton Road
Sheena Austin A road off the top off
Timbercroft.
Then there were the teachers
Mr. Hersey, Sports teacher : Football at the
pitch behind Edison Grove and cricket on the
Common
Mr Seabrook. During music lessons would
occasionally sit at the piano and play some
favorites “by ear”
Mrs Prudhoe. A wonderful lady and teacher who,
when she caught Derek Garnham and I passing
notes containing the latest swearwords we had
learned, took the notes, asked us to stay after
class at which time she explained seriuosly,
that we really should not use words like that.
Then she smiled, gave us a hug and sent us home.
That was the last we heard of the incident.

remember are the Baulchin twins (front row 1st
