Greetings from sunny Canberra in Australia. My connection with Folkestone started in 1956 when my family moved to Cheriton (RMA) from Australia. I attended Sir John Moore Primary School and benefitted greatly from the dedicated teachers like Mrs Clayton, Ms Hollis and Mr Elsemore. Two of my siblings and their families remain residents in the area. After leaving Primary School in 1961, I attended Brockhill CSS in Saltwood until 1966. I have many fond memories of this school especially travelling to school by steam train from Folkestone West to Sandling. Jack Setterfield was the Principal at the time. (more memories to follow).

My grandfather was Jack Setterfield! Thought you might be interested.

I attended Brockhill CSS from 1954 until 1960. Jack Setterfield was Principal. Mr. Dalton was Vice Principal. Sam Biggs was gardening teacher, and Bill White was music teacher. A wonderful school! Great fun learning.

Thanks for the post Christopher. Your Grandfather (Jack Setterfield) was the heart and sole of Brockhill. I have fond memories of him, not only as the Principal, but as Captain of the Army Cadet Unit.

Your e-mail address is mandatory in order to post a message or a reply, but it will be hidden from the page.  It will never be used for any purpose other than to possibly contact you if you get an answer to a query you posted.
Because we have had a problem with advertisements being placed here, we have switched the security to a Folkestone question and answer.  If you want to make a legitimate post here, but don't know the answer to the question, please e-mail me at folkestonethenandnow@gmail.com  explaining a little of why you are posting, and I will give you the answer.  Hint:  it is one word, all in lower case letters.
ATTENTION: It appears you can only post to this guestbook if you are on a desktop computer. I have tested it with both an Ipad and a desktop, and it will only post from the latter. I will look for a more inclusive guestbook, but in the meantime, please accept my apologies.
