(1945-) Church Manorway Infants School, Plumstead, London SE18.
This school was directly opposite my home.
(-1951) Purrett Road School, Plumstead, London SE18.
This school was up a steep hill towards Plumstead Common.
(1951-58) St Olave's Grammar School, Tower Bridge, London SE1.
Having passed my '11-plus' exams I was one of the first boys to get a grant
to go to a grammar school. This involved travelling by bus to Plumstead station,
then by train to London Bridge station, and walking down Tooley Street,
to near Tower Bridge. The school building is still there but the whole area
round it has been considerably altered (it used to be much more industrial).
The school itself has moved out to Orpington in Kent.
