Roseworth Junior Class 4C c1961/62
This old school photograph shows the Roseworth Junior Class, 4C. I think it may have been taken about 1991/1962.
Our classroom was in the ‘Black Huts’ of Kiora Hall, it was an old ‘Prisoner of War’ compound. Not many of us made it to grammar school but what fun we had in those days. The form teacher was Mr Crab and the headmaster was Mr Knowles. I wondered if any of the lads and lasses were still around, I would love to hear from you…
