I vote Ted Max for a literary award!

Ah yes - so you have! Maybe you could contine from Maudsley (I'm assuming that's where you are!)

Ted - please keep the CPT posts coming!

Vicki, I know what you mean, my grandmother was one of 14 and lived in a 3 room slum (I've seen the picture and there is no other way to describe it!) near Peckham High St. I can't imagine what daily life must have been like!

Vicki - this is the description from Booth's Poverty Map 1886 - 1903: "Rockells Place, 8 2-storey houses on each side. Ends at cemetery wall. Footway paved and road made up. Cemetery mason, milkman and men employed in cemetery."? He categorised the road as 'purple' which he describes as: Mixed. Some comfortable, some poor. (The colors for the London map went from Black - lowest class, semi criminal, to Yellow - upper middle class, wealthy) Hope this helps!

I spent many a night in Peppermint Park in the 80's, sadly not on an expense account......

Brilliant, Ted Max!

A must to Avoid?

Domestic science teacher was Miss Hogarth, still remember the techniques she taught to this day!

No - it was Hutchins.. how could we forget!

Yes Hutchinson not Hudgins, oh how she filled me with terror when I would break the needles on the sewing machine ( which was often!)

Oh yes - jumping the stream! and walking under the tunnel to the park, if you felt brave enough. Needlework teachers name was Hudgins I think.... someone in our year locked her in the needlework room cupboard - I think we all copped punishment for that one. I had Mrs. Lunt too. Remember Stuart and Bridges. Also Mrs Allsop. Only thing I liked about school was the social aspect, and listening to the transistor radio hidden under my desk on a Tuesday when the new charts came out!!

Hi lilolil - I left in '75!
