laygate school

Post by Ingeryl »

I attended laygate infants 1926 then went to Laygate Boys
(girls were seperate) the school was supposed to be sinking
One of my teachers was a Mr Tweed He was injured as a
Tank commander in WW2. Laygate Lane School seems to
to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

That would make you about 85 years old, correct?

Not quite,
I will be 82 the 7th june. Have to re-sit my drivers
licence because some idiot in the governmet has decided
that when you reach old age you can no longer be trusted
behind the wheel. Been driving for 60 years without an
accident.

Well according to the dates you give above; you attended Laygate infants when you were two years old, I didn't realize that they started school so young in those days.

Sir,
You are absolutely correct and I offer my most abject
Apologies.
I was born in 1924 in Stevenson St lived in Marsden st then
moved
to Oak Ave when I was 5. started school but only for a few months
when we moved back into town. My dad (the bookies brother)
didn't like Cleadon. Too far from the 'Westoe'
So I was nearly 6 when I started at Laygate Infants
The Head Mistress was Miss Dick.
