From the days when every village had a school, this school photograph of Margrove Park in 1928 dates from that era. And we have:

Margrove Park School Party, initially the location was a mystery; with the building in the background possibly the Exhibition Hall at the Festival of Britain in London, 1951. However Kon Budkiewicz advises us: ”Re location, go on the Festival of Britain and you can see that the oval shaped building is sited near to the current location of the “wheel” on the South Bank of the Thames.” The clothing of the group is of that era. Can someone assist in naming names?

Margrove Park School; three boys, contemplate the flat wheel on the toy truck, spilling it’s load of cotton reels. We asked for ’Names of the pupils and a date, please, if you can help.’ Marian Smith (Holmes) suggests: ”I think Perry Horton, Alan and Brian Drinkall”; Judith Dean has now advised:”Michael Lynas, Alan and Brian Drinkhall”.

Three lovely boys making all kinds of wonderful objects I wonder what they imagined they were: guns maybe or space vehicles? Were you one of these boys or can you name them. Janice Wilson suggested: ”Is far right either Phillip or Peter Darby?”. Neil Readman advises: ”The one on the left is David Wetherall; centre is Denis Wynn and right is myself Neil Readman. I have the photograph, taken about 1958.”

Margrove Park school are they country dancing or is it a P.E. lesson? Were you there or can you recognise anyone on the photograph? Kon Budkiewicz tells us: ”The adult at the rear of the photograph was Miss Robinson. She taught year 1. I guess that the photo was taken in 1953. Janice Wilson tells us: ”Think far left is Lyn Rye; front middle is Keith Rix and Margaret Wardell and surely far right is Christine Budkiewicz.” Anne Wilson tells us: ”The teacher is Audrey Kirby (nee Robinson). She still lives in Skelton and visited June Wilson (Stonehouse) in Somerset recently.”

Margrove Park School; four girls with the play house, one minds a doll whilst the girl at the front cleans the window. We asked for names and were you one of the young ladies? Janice Wilson (nee Kipling) tells us: “Not sure of girl with long hair but Linda Rye is in Wendy House and the other two Annette and Marian Holmes.” Marian Smith (nee Holmes) tells us: ”The girls in the Wendy house picture are Linda Firbank, Pamela Buxton, my sister Annette and myself Marian Holmes.”

Margrove Park Pupils, country dancing in the playground. Under the watchful eye of the teacher. Can you help with names, and year. Kon Budkiewicz advises us: ”The boy on the right is Konstanty Budkiewicz. The boy on the left looks like John Boyes of Charltons. Kon looks about 6 years old, so I guess the photograph was taken in 1952/3. Third child from the right is Marilyn Teasdale and I believe that the teacher was a Miss Stonehouse. I think that she married a short time later.” Anne Wilson tells us: ”The teacher is my mother, June Wilson (nee Stonehouse). She married in 1955 (Bill Wilson of Guisborough).”
