Hi Christine
I was born in the house at the end of Beachborough Rd opposite the Harvey Grammar School. It was a nursing home then. We lived in Wearbay Rd on the corner of Stanbury Cres. We were evacuated to lancashire but returned to Folkestone in 1948. I went to St Eanswyths primary school under Mr Williams then the grammar school under Oliver Bertoud and Cyril Ward. Robin Eyers name rings a bell. I am not sure if I knew him or he may be the Robin that my sister Patricia went out with for a while. More info later if of interest

Hi Kelvin,

I too remember the two headmasters that you named. Others that spring to mind include, ‘killer’ Howard the gym master, ‘ polly‘ Evans woodwork, ‘taffy’ Howell RI and music, H O Emerson languages, ‘spider’ Beck Mathematics.......small world eh?!

p.s. Robin Eyers name also seems familiar.

Having a senior moment when I listed the woodwork master! I should have put polly Pollwin.[b][/b]

Also remember the tuck shop run by Mr Stubberfield, the caretaker and his wife?

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.
