No. 13 is Malcolm Court.
Donald, I will help you out again re Barry Busher. He was in my year at LHR so would not be in this photo. So the grey matter is still working. Any more? Regards. Eric Pasco.
A name I cannot find in these lists and I’m sure I’ve not imagined. Barry Busher. Ring any bells with anyone ??
I think 47 is George Smith Caretaker. (his son married my sister) If correct I have other small details about him.
One more name that arrived out of the blue, Kelvin Hughes. Am I right or did I just make that up?
Yes it’s me, back again! Was there a teacher at LHR named Mr Anstis? Anybody know, or have I just had an over 60s moment?
Anybody want to work with me? If you know a face that you can’t put a name to, I have a name that I can’t put a face to. Out of the mush that is my brain comes the name John Langton, ring any bells?
No. 11 is Alan Wardridge.
No. 58 is Victor Edmonds. He is my brother.
No.43 Could that be Philip Walters?
No. 44 – Brian Forbes.
No. 59 – Richard Schmeig.
Page 8, photo no. 9, Barry Weal lived for a time at Dunton mobile home park, last known whereabouts was thought to be living in Hornchurch.
I think no 9 is Barry Wheel, 40 is Tony Hurley, 42 is Bobby Baldwin. No 41 lived in Lee Chapel Lane, Langdon Hills, but I cannot remember his name. Perhaps someone else can help me out!

Evening Ian, 38 Mike Pratt, 8 George Shrimpton, 45 Mr Woodward, 46 Mr Cluff, 48 Alan Bear, 49 John Gilchrist, 50 Mr Hughes.
Hy Ian, you are doing a great job of this, easier to see the numbers now as well. Re the size of the classes, I think there were 38-40 kids per class in the first, second and third years, by the fourth and fifth numbers had eased to around the thirty mark. Teachers of today wouldnt stand for it now, I guess most of the staff in the 50s and 60s were made of sterner stuff but they also had the power of discipline, something no one has these days, a few of us were a bit rebellious but none of us were violent like some of todays little darlings! God bless teachers I say, thanks to them I can read, write, spell and count my pension money and think logically, [I think?].
