Schooldays
Did you go to school in Walthamstow? Want to see pictures?
Pictures and stories here!
Here is a photo from when I was at (I never knew it as Woodside). I am Alan Gallant (although at that time I was Alan Goldstein) and my family lived at 15 Greenway Avenue, just by Wood Street Station.
I am central in the photo in the second row immediately behind the boy holding Class 4 1953-54.
The teacher is Mrs Whipp and most of us boys were in love with her. The Headmaster at the time
was Mr L.V. Head.
My memory of the names of my fellow pupils is awful, but I believe Gillian Glyde is
top row 2nd pupil in from the left, Lawrence Lewis is 2nd row 3rd pupil in from left,
Billy Wright is top row first in from right and finally Colin/Brian Ericsson
is bottom row 2nd in from left.
Regards
Alan GALLANT

Hi Daniel, can you please add this photo to the gallery? My husband Reg is top left in the photo; its Christmas 1956 at Woodside School, Wood St., Walthamstow. At the moment Reg remembers the boy sitting below him (Stephen Read), other school mates: David Weston, Steven Pattmore, Peter Fuller, Geoffrey Smith, Lesley Smith, Carol Rodd, Pamela Stevenson and a boy who got sunstroke at the Isle of Wight camp and thought he was a teapot!!! Reg can't remember his name, but still laughs about it...
