I have been trying to remember you but cannot - but my old school friend in the UK, David Holt feels he may do. We both remember Hazel Lumb who was at Fence School with David and Peter Taylor because they were both in our year at Woodhouse Grammar School 1951 to 1958. David lived on Coalbrook Estate near Iron Bridge and Peter lived on Faulkener Lane

 

I remember Margaret Foster and her family, Merediths, Margaret Reynolds, Ken Siddall etc

 

I lived on Park Hill in the last houses before the field and then the Henry Boot Houses our next door neighbour was Stella Chambers and her parents

 

My name is Victor Marshall Hutchinson - my Father was involved in TV repairs at the time

 

 

I left Swallownest in 1979 and moved to Driffield near Bridlington and at start of 2007 to Malaysia. Now at 78 I spend 2/3 weeks in Malaysia then 2/3 weeks in Dubai and Oman - right now I am in Dubai and will return to Malaysia on an overnight flight on Friday 20th

 

 

Nice to hear

Hi Len. My name is Keith Taylor. I left Swallownest School in Easter 1950. At the time I was living at Mansfield Road Aston. Sorry your name does not ring any bells but you may be able to throw some more names up that might jog my memory.

Hi Keith,

 

Here are a few names to jog your memory:

 

Terry Stocks

Jeff Storey

Denis Wisehall

Brian Liley

Brian Watkinson

Lionel - His mum would serve school dinners at the Welfare Hall

Dorothy Taylor

Shirley Gough

Jean, Brenda & Jo Dean

Pete Sigsworth

Clarence (his nick name was Cag moore, from Park Hill)

Also, do you remember Mr Cawthorne? He was the woodwork teacher.

I was born in Fence Cottages in 1936 which they demolished in the early 50's to build the NCB workshops, I moved up to Swallownest School about 1948 but I did go to Fence school in the early years.

 

Hope this jogs your memory, I look forward to your reply.
