G'Day, I lived in Swindon (Park South and Nythe Estate) from 1960-1969. Went to school at Sanford St Boys and Park Senior High. When I left school I worked for Barclays Bank in Farringdon. I emigrated to Australia in 1969 - All my mates thought that I was mad emigrating to "the Colonies" but I found my fortune in a bush lifestyle and a great job. I look after Abercrombie Caves Reserve (A National Park of about 1400Ha) I would love to make contact with any of my old school mates.. In particular Trevor Clayson, Colin Littler, Peter Partridge, or James Grigg... Send me an email.

Care Home for Children, Wootton Bassett January 1943
Posted by: Susan
During WW2, around January 1943 I was put into a small care home for children in Wootton Bassett. I was not quite 5yrs. old so I have no real memories of the place except that the house must have been fairly central as I think it was quite an old house facing onto a street. I wonder whether there is anyone who can recall such a place, exactly where it was, what it might have been called or who ran it. I would be grateful for any suggestions, please. Thank you.

Looking for Walcot Friends
Posted by: Sylvia
I awoke this morning wondering about some of my old school friends from Swindon and of the bizarre things we got up to at such an early age (9 or 10)- ie: selling raffle tickets door to door,then buying cakes etc with the proceeds. It was Barbara Tomkin's idea if my memory serves correctly, I'm sure she must be an entreprenuer today. My name is Sylvia Foster (nee Brown) and attended Lanesmead primary. I lived at 34 Somerville Road, Walcot, we often played at Sussex Square, I loved the library. We moved away for a couple of years then returned, I attended Walcot Secondary (1969-70). My parents managed the Bulldog Off-Licence before sailing off to Australia in 1971 where I am today. Some of the names I remember from school and surroundings: Lucy Adler, Tina Hunt, Susan Sturgeon, Helen Smith, Barbara Tomkins, Michelle Dingley,(another) Sylvia Brown, Leroy Hogan, Nigel Causton. If you are out there and would like to email, please do, I would love to hear from any of you.

Swindon Walcot Secondary Modern School
Posted by: Paul
Are there any survivors out there of the great Swindon Walcot Secondary Modern School Education Disaster of the late 50s, early 60s? I was one of the first pupils at Wal. Sec. Mod. School when it opened, asks Paul Tate...then known as Paul Reisin. The first headmaster was Mr. Brazier. I used to dig his garden for him on Upham Road to make pocket money not knowing he was to be my future headmaster. I was in Form 3c, our form master was Mr. Kitchen, an extremely bizarre character. For maths we had Mr. Healy and for art Mr. Harris. Amongst my fellow pupils were...Moureen Kench, Raymond 'Midge' Dennis, Geofrey Harrison, Billy Barns, David Stratton, Patricia and Moureen Symes, Alan and David Stevens, Fred Bully, Philip Frost, David Hartley, Tony Russell and many more. I lived in Buckland Close, Park North and now live in Berlin, Germany. I often think of those days and wonder if there is anyone else who would like to share reminiscences.
