Did anyone go to Western Rd. school

[CHAIRBOY 10]

Hi CB

Yes, I'm sure I was in Miss Exley's 4A. Maybe the year after you. Top of our class was always Clifford Alsop who lived at the vicarage on the corner of Western Road and the road where St. Timothy's was on. I also remember James Ellis passing the 11 plus to go to King Teds along with Clifford.

Hello Geoff, of course I remember you. In fact I think it was your bike I wreckred when I came off on the cycle track round the cookhouse. It cost me 1/6d at Ernie Holdens to have 3 spokes put back in. Hope you are keeping well. I have just taken Edgar Blagden out for ameal. He has been laid up for about 10 years now with chronic back pain. Bob Smith told me about this site. I am glad he did. Pete

Hi Pete

I remember Edgar well. Please pass on my best wishes.

Talking about the cook house, do you remember when most of us youngsters were taken in by a guy who worked there. He said he was Joe Nibloe and joined in with our games of football between the cook house and the changing rooms. He turned out to be called Brian. I remember that he rated Denis Collingswood as a good player and kind of intimated that he could get him a trial at the Lane. I have mention Dave Bennison on this site before without response. Was it only me that thought he was a really good player?

Yes you could Pete. I also remember John Morley chasing me all round the "concrete" wicket for catching him out when I normally ducked.

I went to western Road from 1960 to 1966. Names I can remember are Sandra Cargill, Elaine Adams and Christine Carlton. I lived on Cobden View and went to King Ecgberts after the 11 plus. I remember the gales (was it 1963) and walking through the back of the garden of the Cobden View hotel and having to climb over the fallen trees.

I had just left Western Road Junior School in 1960. I did also live on Cobden View at number 43 up until maybe 1963.
