  • Hi Julie I remember you as Judith we were pals way back in our youth. I haven’t seen you since we left school. Do you still live locally? 

    Iris Midlane you and I used to go around together. Iris lived in Compton Walk I lived in Roberts Road.  I can’t remember the name of your close Julie? 

    I now live in Basildon would love to catch up Caroline.

    By Julie Rothwell (09/03/2012)
  • I have been trying to remember Jackie Bridle’s surname for ages. She had a twin sister Bobby and a younger sister Elaine. Jackie is definitely No. 34

    By Ann Dolton (14/02/2012)
  • Number 21- believe this is Carol Scholls – not sure if this is the correct spelling

    By Patsy Mott (19/01/2012)
  • Mr Allen who was one of the teachers at LHS was the brother of Averil Allen who is number 23 in this photo. I was quite a fan of his, as he was young and seemed more like one of us at the time. 

    When Averil signed my autograph album in 1957 she put her full address of where she lived in Dunton Road. Funnily enough it wasn’t until I moved from Laindon that I found out where Dunton Road was.

    By Joan Baterip (19/01/2012)
  • No 34 is one of the Bridle twins. Either Bobbie or Jackie. I think it’s Jackie

  • Richard you must remember Rosmary Brand she lived in Kathleen Ferrier Crescent and married someone called Alan from Laindon Hills way. She was a very tall pretty girl and Pam Callows best friend.

    By Gloria Sewell (02/12/2011)
  • Gloria, yes I do remember Rosemary Brand, she was in my year at LHR, her photo 59 isnt good on here, Valerie Boatwright could confirm. Also I think 52 is Veronica Bridges with glasses on. Keep looking guys.

    By Richard Haines (02/12/2011)
  • No 39 is Judith Drewer, No 54 is Joyce Gordon, No 59 is Rosemary Brand.

    By Patsy Spendlove (20/11/2011)
  • Re number 13 (dark haired girl wearing alice band). Does anyone else think it could be Gillian English now Gill Simmonds.

    By Andrea Ash (Nee Pinnell) (11/11/2011)
  • On my copy the girl at 7 does not appear to be any darker than the surrounding children. She has straight sleek hair, pulled back off her face and may have been in slight shadow. Certainly I dont remember any ethnic children at LHR all the time I was there.

    By Richard Haines (06/11/2011)
  • Hi Richard. I’ve just looked at my copy of the photo and I agree that No 7 doesn’t look as dark as on the website. However, there definiely was a black girl at LHS. One afternoon after lunch, Mr Woodward called us into the hall and introduced us to ‘Janice’ the school’s first black pupil. I remember her clearly. We were about 12 or 13 at the time. I shall have to contact my classmate Janet to see if she can remember Janice’s surname.

    By Nina Burton (06/11/2011)
  • Re number 40 – Evelyn’s surname was Barton.

    By Andrea (06/11/2011)
  • 48 Vanessa Crew

    By Richard Haines (05/11/2011)

    By Patsy Mott (04/11/2011)
  • Sorry please take Mary Marchant’s name from number 26 – didn’t read the number correctly – got the magnifier out! – its number 28.

    By Andrea (04/11/2011)
  • Number 8 is Georgina Rogers (Eddy’s younger sister)

    By Andrea (04/11/2011)
  • is no.40 evelyn Brewer Tina Brewers sister

    By Gloria Sewell (04/11/2011)
  • Hi Patsy and Ian. No. 7 – a little dark smiling face. We had recently all been called into the hall by Mr Woodward to meet ‘Janice’ Laindon High Road School’s first black pupil. I think that could be her. Sorry I can’t remember her surname and doubly sorry if I am mistaken.

    I though she was a black young lady but Patsy is not sure

    By Nina Humphrey (nee Burton) (04/11/2011)
  • No 60. I now know her first name is June Breedon

    By Nina Humphrey (04/11/2011)
  • No Gloria, Number 40 is definitely not Evelyn Brewer – I used to travel up to London with her and she was slightly auburn. This Evelyn (H?) was darker, had an olive type of skin; she was well known for fainting in assembly. No-one took her seriojusly but unfortunately she wasn’t feigning – she died at about 17 years old. I will ask Rose Gipson because she may remember her name.

    By Andrea Ash (Nee Pinnell) (04/11/2011)
  • No. 28 is Mary Marchant is 36 Rosemary Rawlinson?

    By Valerie Kingsley (Boatwright) (03/11/2011)
  • No sorry 36 is Marlene, her brother told me so.

    By valerie Kingsley (Boatwright) (03/11/2011)
  • No. 51. I now think her surname maybe Burnett as I have seen Pat Perry further along.

    By Nina Humphrey (02/11/2011)
