Trish you posted at the same time as me there! Yes that was her,very strick,she taught handwriting and wrote on my report how bad mine waswhich made us laugh because it took ages to work out what she'd actually written. My cousin often talks about the old RE teacher that was still there when I was. Do you remember Polly Parrott? lol Sheila

Yes, the boys part was still seperate when I was there but I remembered the other school now that I was thinking about further up and that was Wellsbourne which some of my other cousins went to. Personally, I couldn't wait to get out of the Prison on the Hill but looking back now...it wasnt so bad! Sheila

I escaped Hatters Lane in 71 (a day early as I prended that I had a doctors appointment on the actual leaving day). I couldn't get out of there fast enough! Really hated it. Can't remember the headmistress's name but she was a single lady, very strict. Even the misbehaved were wary of her.

I was released from Hatters Lane in 1977. Miss Barfield was the headmistress. (I think) I remember a headmaster at Spring gardens but couldnt tell you his name! My cousins Marian was also there but left 1969. What was the other secondary school called further up the hill? Sheila

i went to bookerhill and then cressex!!!! hubby went to hazlemere c of e and then holmer green susie

Hi Sheila, I went to Spring Onions school as well! Headmaster was Mr Smith? Also went to Hatters Lane :-(((

I know that feeling very well :)

Hi Jan, I used to live in Bushey Heath and went to school in Elstree. Don't remember Shenley very well, but then again I don't remember anything very well ! Rick.

Hello Everyone, Hope you are all good.. Rick if your about just finished 4 days work in Shenley :) Jan :)

Hello, Yes, I was born in Huenden Road went to Priory Road School, then moved went to school Spring Gardens then on to Hatters Lane.....many moons ago. Oh, and I remember bacon bager's very well Sheila

Denis You raised an interesting point (although, as suggested, it would pay you to go to the Tips Board). I do not think you will be able to get any census information post 1901 due to the 100 year rule. It may, though, be possible to use the Electoral Roll, if access is obtainable. Does anyone know if this is available at Wycombe Library? I am prepared to go and ask if no one knows. With regard to the heart condition, its hard to do but usually a complete change of lifestyle and eating is called for. Len

Don't worry Denis...just happy to try and help. Regards Sarah.

Denis Morning!! Why don't you pop your message on the 'Tips Board' or the 'Records Office' Board? A wider group of people will see it. Hope you are keeping well. Kind Regards Sarah.

Hello everyone Have just got back from a meeting in Wycombe, of a Cardiac Support Group (500 members). The speaker was a pharmacist and gave an interesting talk on the various drugs we have to take. Last month the Speaker was Dr Clifford, the Consultant at Wycome and Hammersmith Hospitals. Anyone want details of the group just ask. I had 3 heart attacks in 1996/7 followed by two or three years of angina and all the usual problems. By doing exactly what the medics told me, have made a complete recovery and take no cardiac medicaments at all and celebrated my 80th birthday on Sunday. Had a party at the Lambert Arms in Lewknor and can fully recommend their excellent service. My next party will be in 2114, anyone like to come. Many thanks to all those who sent me birthday greetings. Len
