Hi, Georgina: Yes I think you’re right on Sylvia Smith.(see 3 on ’56) Regards RW
Could No.1 is Sylvia Smith?
No 3 is Grace Taylor
No 3 is Pat Barnard, no 19 is Irene Cutler, and I am quite sure 58 is not Sandra Honey
No. 16 is Carol Bailey who lived in Pound Lane.
Is 58 Sandra Honney ?
Hi, No 48 maybe Anne Freeman.
Hi Julie I will try to get to the memory day on May 25th but don’t know where it is.
Editor: The Memory Day will be at Laindon Library between 10am & 12 noon. Hope you can make it Caroline.
Hello Caroline, I look forward to seeing you after all these years, take care.
No. 51 is Pat Perry. I saw her granddaughter this morning and she confirmed her correct name.
Hi Caroline, I have made a date in my diary to attend a memory day on May 25th it would be great if you could be there.
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.
Hello Caroline, I remember we were very good friends when I lived in Kathleen Ferrier Crescent.
I have lived here in Eye Suffolk for six years but often come to Essex to see family. I am going to make an effort to attend a memory day in Laindon I will let you know then maybe we could meet lovely to hear from you.
No 30 is Sylvia Rowe. By Judith Rothwell nee Drewer, known now as Julie. 9/3/2012
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
Number 21- believe this is Carol Scholls – not sure if this is the correct spelling
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.
No 34 is one of the Bridle twins. Either Bobbie or Jackie. I think it’s Jackie
No.50 is Christine ?
Yes, it’s the other one 21 on page 2 that is Vanessa Crew.
No 15 Sandra Harris. No 47 Jenifer Westwood. No 57 Gwen Mobley. (behind No 42) is No 33 Jean Suttle.
Editor: You named Vennesa Crews as 21 on Page 2, she has been named as 48 on this page can you please check?
23 Averill Allen, 20 Denise Addams
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.
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.
No 39 is Judith Drewer, No 54 is Joyce Gordon, No 59 is Rosemary Brand.
No 30 is Sylvia?
No 55 is Rosemary Groves she lived in Langdon Hills near me.
Re number 13 (dark haired girl wearing alice band). Does anyone else think it could be Gillian English now Gill Simmonds.
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.
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.
Re number 40 – Evelyn’s surname was Barton.
48 Vanessa Crew
2 & 5 Marian & Mary Wells (Twins). 8 Georgina ?
Sorry please take Mary Marchant’s name from number 26 – didn’t read the number correctly – got the magnifier out! – its number 28.
Number 8 is Georgina Rogers (Eddy’s younger sister)
is no.40 evelyn Brewer Tina Brewers sister
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
No 60. I now know her first name is June Breedon
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.
No. 28 is Mary Marchant is 36 Rosemary Rawlinson?
No sorry 36 is Marlene, her brother told me so.
No. 51. I now think her surname maybe Burnett as I have seen Pat Perry further along.
Correction please Ian or Christine will thump me next year,number 29 is Christine Oliver not 30 as previously stated, cheers, Ken
