Dear Susiewusie

I went o Darnall Church school in the 40's. It was a terrible experience. The teacher wore mens ties and boots and was nasty to me. I refused to go to school and the truant man came to call. He threatened to put me up a telegraph pole and feed me bread and water if I did not go back to school.

I can see him now leaning over the counter of our shop telling me this ( I was five years old at the time)

My mother told him where to get off and transferred me to another school.

where I did very well.

Could hardly believe you were talking of the same school.

I also went to Darnall Church school and found it ok the punishment was hard but in my case deserved the headmaster was Mr Jackson who when caning you used every bit of strength in his body but like I say I was a bit of a rogue - did you live in Darnall at the time ? I came from Coleridge rd and now in my 70's
