Happy Days

A Memory of Old Coulsdon.

I was born in 1942 & lived in placehouse lane, attending down land school then passing the dreaded 11plus & spending the next 6 years at purley county grammar school for girls starting in 3 upper r which was an extra class founded for the post war boom babies. I really loved those days, looking back I wish I had worked harder, it was a great school with great teachers including the incredible headmistress Miss Simpson. Such an idyllic childhood with so much freedom & so little care or responsibility. I also did a paper round for Brants newsagents, met my first serious boyfriend there, Colin who lived in Keston Avenue, we thought we would stay young for ever! Those were definitely the days. If any of my school contempories remember our journey thru school do please get in touch!
