Hi all are there any "old boy`s" on here that went to Cowplain Secondary Modern for Boy`s in the 50`s and 60`s. I left in 1964 and now live in Fareham but lived in Padnell Place in Cowplain #4 next to the Pounds family and yes Mick Dewey I can recall most of the families that lived in the Padnell area. Thank You.
I started at padnell infant school in 1968 I think. I had Mrs Ison (? spelling) in the second year and Mrs Griffin in the third year. Was it Mrs Johnson in the first year? I then went to Cowplain Junior School for the next four years. I will have to disentangle my infant school memories from my junior school ones.
My first school around 1969, 5 years old. I still remember there being railway sleepers in the play ground, and we each had a hook to hang coats and PE bags on, mine was a rabbit. Lucky for me my nan lived very close so I used to go there for dinner and didn't have to eat school dinners. A good friend Andrew Gent started school with me, we were in the same class all through infant and junior school and also went to Hartplain senior together, I have not seen or heard of him since can anyone help?
