Your correspondent Brian Barton, who is organising an old boys' reunion at Welbeck Road School for pupils who attended between 1948 and 1954, brought back many childhood memories for me.
I went to Welbeck Infants' and Junior School. I remember the headmistress of the junior school was Miss Steele and the caretaker was Mr George.
I left the school in 1946 to finish my schooling at West Central, Wrythe Lane, Carshalton, then divided into a boys' and girls' school, now called Carshalton High School for Girls. Here I introduced looped real writing which I was taught at Welbeck Road, much to the dismay of the teachers who were there at the time. But gradually it became accepted for other pupils. Those were the days.
I wish Brian and all who attend the reunion a most successful evening.
