Hi I went to school there til 10 years old Chalfont I loved it! Gold Hill was windy good for kites. Headmasters name was Mr Barry he was a great history teacher I remember a gal Megan Long I was friends with there. Hahaha. Also a swimming pool and small classrooms.
The celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the Company was fun ! I had to re-orientate myself to the fact that the "little ones" were now Grandmothers. The 90th Anniversary will be in 2017. I wonder if it is to be celebrated?
Was the waggon ever found after it was stolen?
When there was snow on the ground in the 60s people used to hair down the common on anything they could find to sit on. I don't know how many people carried on off the Common and landed on the road as there was nothing to stop them. Scarry looking back. I went on to work at the Collony and then Chalfont Hospital.
