All connections with Stoney Lane are long gone. Sorry cannot help you.

Lyn, I was married at All Saints Church almost 54 years ago. Same husband that you met when we visited you.

Lyn, I believe it is. It was my primary school as a child and I lived 3 houses away from the school in Francis Road when I was older.

Albert road is straight ahead with shops just after the school on the left and more shops on the right.Richmond Road is on the left and Lyttleton Road on the right.

I was a pupil at Cropwood for 2 years from 1954 to 1956 (age 6 to 8) and rather enjoyed it. Miss Urquhart was the head, Miss Williamson the deputy, Mrs P Z Zoar and Miss Meadows were teachers. 80 girls were divided into 4 classes. We had to clean and polish our winter shoes or summer sandals...

Sorry about my previous comment about Bayeux. I should have written Caen museum. It is splendid. The Bayeux museum houses the tapestry. Well worth seeing though.

Coincidentally a great uncle of my husband is also remembered on the same wall.

Nick, I have a picture in my my memory of a tallish, slim, grey haired gentleman that may have been Mr. O’Nions. I think he was a church warden. Vivienne

I have the impression that all of the working class children who went to Grammar schools had parents who struggled to pay for our uniforms. I know my parents did as I was not the only member of my family who made it to grammar school. As the school I attended was over 3 miles from home...

Just like KRO it took time for me to grow in my uniform. 3 years later it fitted and it wasn’t worth buying another for the 5th and final year. I chuckle about it now but there was no fashion pressure that I noticed in those days except avid discussions about what Sandie Shaw or Cilla Black wore...

The teacher with nicotine stained hands was Mr Ebrey. He was my teacher when I was 8 years old. Alison Hjelter is my sister. Well remembered, particularly the spelling! I recognise some of the names you mentioned. Regards, Batmadviv
