Who do you know on these Grantham school photos?

February 7, 2020 by Grantham Matters 3 Comments

JUST found these two pictures that I took while going to Alma Park School, I took them with my very first camera, bought from woolys, ie., Woolworth’s, the year I cannot remember perhaps, 1956 ? it was the best school I ever went to, and just look what real teachers used to look like, I wonder what the ladies name was, I think the boy in the middle of the picture was a great friend of mine & my best man when I got married, not seen him for many years, Grenvil Woolerton, where are you, hope you like the pictures the only problem was that I took all the pictures and never thought to get one of myself, all the best, Bryan Pearce, just had a thought I think the lad on his own on the right was Rodney Mason..

    Brilliant photos! We don’t see many of Alma park. I didn’t start school there (my brother did) but I can certainly remember watching the kids playing in the play ground, a boy wearing a Davy Crocket hat sticks in my mind (wonder who that was and where he is now?). I must have been about three at the time. Remember the Nisson huts and air raid shelters? And why was it always sunny up there?

    The one in the middle with his arms folded is my brother, Stephen Weller.
