Walworth/Mina Road: see if your name's here!

As regular readers will know, a couple of us are collecting people’s memories of English teaching at Mina Road (Walworth) School as part of a research project. Pete was a teacher at the school from 1964-71; Patrick was a pupil who left in 1969.

We’ve been lucky to get hold of some documents that contain lists of pupils who were released for things like choir practice, music lessons and athletics events. Amongst the names are some that belonged to class 2D in 1956-57 and 3R in 1957-58:

Abbott	Sandra
Crump	Linda
Curtis	Jacqueline
Curtis	Gillian
Dower	Carol
Fitzgerald	Eileen
Hill	Brenda
Hollis	Garrod
Hollis	Michael
Keefe	Leonard
Leonard	Keith
Lewis	Kenneth
Longhurst	Diane
Munday	Barry
Richards	Derek
Vallance	David
Wakeman	Alice
Walker	Ian

We’d like to hear from anyone on that list or anyone who was in that class. If you know anyone’s address or email and you think they wouldn’t mind your passing it on, can you please let us know?

We’re especially interested in the English teacher who took you in those two years, Mr Harold Rosen -- please let us know if you remember him, and most especially let us know if you’ve kept any work that you did for him.

We’d also like to know who taught you in years 1 and 2, and 4 and 5 (for those who stayed on).

The best way to get in touch is via an email to walworthresearch@me.com.
