A New School and a New Borough
An Essex writer recalls a child’s-eye view of primary school in the 1950s and 60s in his online publication: from all the post-war optimism of the new Elizabethan age to the creation of a brand new Havering.
With pictures of school work and toys from the time and accounts of school outings in vintage transport. If you like being a detective there’s work you could do online looking up an old coach and a paddle steamer. And might you have a relative who is in the missing school pantomime picture?
