Bosworth Infants/Junior School from c.1942
Photographs and information
By Valerie Saunders
I'd love to get hold of photographs taken at Bosworth School during the period 1942-1949. I was Mary in the Nativity Play in the top class of the Infant School (app.1944-45), and also took part in the Quincentenary celebrations. We danced on the Forest, or somewhere similar, and wore black dirndl skirts with about three rows of braiding around the bottom. I have no photographs of either of these events. In the junior school we also had a big book in which pupils' good compositions were put, together with a photograph. Are these kind of records still kept anywhere, or were they all destroyed?
I had a photograph of a group of us holding marionettes that we had made in Mr. Murphy's class; I'd love to get hold of a copy of this - for some reason I was wearing my guide uniform! I remember a boy called Ernest was on the photograph. My best friend at the time was Patsy Priestly. I remember many other girls, who went onto Trent Bridge - Joan Turner, Barbara Cawthorne, Barbara Glover, Gill Flowers, etc. Boys - Gordon Carver, Colin Crackle, David Buckingham, etc. WHERE ARE YOU NOW?
