    Court Farm Primary Tedbury Crescent School Erdington

    Lady P., yes she's there, just not in fancy dress. If you look at the boy at the end of the front row with his arms folded, LHS as you look at it, my pretty sister is just behind his left shoulder in the cardigan with horizontal stripes. Then behind Dianne is (one of the) BO Peeps. Hope that...

    Court Farm Primary Tedbury Crescent School Erdington

    Hello, my first posting on this thread - be gentle with me! I just wanted to share one of those 'small world innit' coincidences but first my Court Farm credentials. Started in 1955 and my teachers in more or less the right order were: (Miss/Mrs/Mr) Keeping, Gilbert, Jones - lovely lady, wooden...
