Maybe it wasn't the same Steven then or maybe it was just a group of friends from the same area who were messing about together when the accident happened. I was born in December 1952 and lived in Outmore Road, opposite what was Garretts Green Technical College. My father still going at 90 lives...

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you we were away for the weekend. It must be the same Steven White who was shot in the eye as the Farmer family friend who was similarly injured. It would be too much of a coincidence not to be. As I said I don't remember any detail except being told the...

I have just had a look on the 'google maps street view' of Hadland Road and I think my Farmers lived at No 17. The reason I say that, is that their house was in the block that fell back a bit and they had an entry, their house on the left of it from the road. I vaguely remember a story that one...

Mr Hardingham was still there when I was too. We went on a trip to Blankenberg in Belgium with the school in 1962 and Mr Hardingham's daughter and husband came along as supervisors if I remember correctly. I can't really remember any other teachers except a Mr Davies who taught a 4th year class...

I was born at the end of 1952 so I probably started in the junior school in 1958/59. I think I went to the Infants school at about four and a half stayed a couple of years then moved to the juniors as I say about 58/59.

I take your point but how do you allow 'conversations'. And yes to wearing a towel and worse still having to wear someone else's filthy kit out of the lost property box, no to the elastic band, yes many times the pump for forgetting to bring my homework in. Never suspended either that sounds...

If Paul was a Central Boy were you a Byng Kendrick girl or did you meet later as adults? And looking back on my posts, I have been off here for a while, I noticed you helped me with a census query, before I obviously new the connection through Paul, so thank you for that too. I have just thought...

Can anyone remember Blakenhale Junior School. I went there in the mid 50s, I lived in Outmore Road, at the Technical College End. My teachers were Mrs Chant, Miss Johns, Mr Hawker and Mr Owen. The names I can remember from my year group were Robert Cooper, Robert Wilcox, Gary Hatter, Peter...

I am sure when I new Paul he lived in Shard End but I may well be wrong, I think our room was room 6, he sat in the last row but one on the window seat. Next to Paul's row, along the back row of desks was Bryn Jones, Chris Hurst, David Palfrey, me then Rob Woodford. In the early years I was...

Hi, my name is Malcolm Robinson and I guess I was in the year above you. I remember Stephan who we always called 'Chic'....can't think why! I know that Kevin McNally from Pirates of the Caribbean fame and others was in the year below you.

Hello, my name is Malcolm Robinson (nickname at school Dub) Paul was in my class 1S. Tell him I remember him as a very gentle giant and great sportsman. I also remember his huge sideburns! bet they have gone now. Give him my very best wishes and I hope he is very well and happy. If you are still...
