It’s strange how differently we see our old teachers. I always saw Mr Roberts a decent man, fair and quite understanding. If I remember correctly he was a prisoner of the Japanese Army and saw cruelty beyond belief so I’m surprised that he has been described as a child beater. Shame he’s not able to defend himself.

Shame he’s not able to defend himself. ?? Yes I agree. A one to one with him once I was old enough to deal out what he gave to us poor souls would give me some closure.
 
I was at Illmington Road School from1953to 1955 and knew Markuson,Small Puddifat, Robert’s etc
There we’re some bullies there like Hyslop and his friends
 
Last I heard, Markason, in Prison, Small and Roberts both Passed, went back on leave in 1964, and Small was in a wheel Chair, after a stroke, all gone now even the school is a housing estate!!
