St. Leonards 1950's

A Memory of Streatham.

Does anyone remember a girl named Mary Jones - her brother was Jimmy Jones and cousin was James Barnard. She was my best friend for such a short time and then had to leave infants/junior school as her dad remarried (her mum died of pneumonia). She was at St. Leonards for a couple of years. We went to girl guides together and she would hand me 'love letters' from her brother. St. Leonards was such a tiny school and we had no playground as such compared to today. Looking at the old photographs of Streatham High Road - it is such a far cry from today where there is hustle and bustle and cars everywhere! What a difference. Thank you for the memories.

I also went to St Leonard's Primary School but really can't remember many of the names.
Seem to think that it had outside loos and, as you say, was very small and maybe only a single story building as I can't remember an upstairs.
I went to the Cubs, for a very short time, at St Leonard's Church.
Wish I could remember more.
One name that does come to mind is Reggie Yule but not certain if he was at this school.
Nice to hear from you!
Hi….I last wrote looks like 2015…wow. Just wondered if there were perhaps any updates? Anyone in Mrs Dee’s class during the 1950’s? Some more names I remember…Susan Bennett, Marilyn Tufnell, Ros Botel, Brenda Eales, Linda Jennings, Doreen Goodwin, Susan Godbold, Lynette James.
