Too late for me to have appeared in it, I only attended the school for one term, about the winter of 1941 or 42. I remember it being a very cold year and Mill Lane was filled with snow and we couldn't get to school even though it was only about 25 yards walk.

The school had only two classrooms then and the two teachers lived in the cottage alongside the school. I think there was only one stove to heat the whole building and our morning milk used to be warmed up on this stove.

I have an older photo of the School taken in the early 1920s with my Mother as 'sleeping beauty' in the school play.
