Well done Beachbum, the Chalk Tavern it was.
My sister's friend was Rachel Pollicott, an unusual surname to me. It seems that my sister remembers that all her siblings names started with R, such as Roger, Rosalind and Robert. The post must have been a nightmare...
As a 7year old I went to what was then known as Barrow Grove junior school, but the new wing for the youngest intake was not quite finished and we spent a term or so in the "Johnson Gardens Annex". A rather grand name for large shed in a park! it's still there used as a nursery school I think. It had history, when we were moving out all manner of odd stuff was found, I remember the gas masks.
Best conkers ever from the large Horse Chestnut trees in the Park, I would even catch the early bus to get there first
Over to you Beachbum (there is something very odd about typing that phrase, but I'll get over it!)
