we could only peer through the windows.&nbsp; We couldn&#8217;t even obtain access to the old playground.&nbsp; The whole school is now surrounded by steel fencing and padlocked gates &#8211; to keep the children in I presume.&nbsp; The Wall from the top of the field to the corner of the playground has gone, replaced by a curiously tall mesh fence.&nbsp; The wall along the bottom of the playground remains, though reduced to half height.&nbsp; It also sports a fine mural rather than painted wickets and circular targets.&nbsp; The great redwood tree around which we once played remains, as you can see.&nbsp; Joy and I recalled how we once concocted &#8216;perfume&#8217; and &#8216;itching powder&#8217; below it or in the crevices of its softly fissured bark.&nbsp; I recalled that I once climbed to the top of it &#8211; when there was no one about to stop me.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em><br>Kevan<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1652\" src=\"https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"509\" height=\"509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-1-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-1-619x619.jpg 619w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 509px) 100vw, 509px\" \/>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kevanbundell.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1651\" src=\"https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-The-Hall.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"429\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-The-Hall.jpg 1437w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-The-Hall-257x300.jpg 257w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-The-Hall-877x1024.jpg 877w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-The-Hall-768x896.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-The-Hall-1316x1536.jpg 1316w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-The-Hall-619x722.jpg 619w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 429px) 100vw, 429px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kevanbundell.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-2-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1654\" src=\"https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-3-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"434\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-3-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-3-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-3-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-3-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-3-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-3-1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-3-1-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/20-05-23-3-1-619x619.jpg 619w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 434px) 100vw, 434px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p>Hi everyone,<\/p>\n<p>A few of us made it to the Fair <em>[i.e. the Eastwick May fair 2018]<\/em> and despite it raining from the moment we arrived it was an interesting visit.&nbsp;

The house stood within the area of roads now known as the &#8216;Eastwick area&#8217;, and its very large private estate included Great Bookham Commons, which were saved by the village and given to the National Trust. Since being used as a private house, the manor was used by Canadian military in the second world war, and was also a school called Southey Hall, before being demolished for redevelopment. The original gates to the house stand just west of Eastwick Park Avenue on Lower Road.\u201d <\/em>I recall my dad saying how the Canadian army used the school as a training ground and how they trashed the house so badly it had to be demolished.<\/p>\n<p>Another page says \u201c<em>Eastwick Park was built by the French Huguenot architect&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Nicholas_Dubois&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1\"><em>Nicholas Dubois<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;(c.&nbsp;1665\u20131735) between 1726 and 1728 for Sir&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Conyers_Darcy\"><em>Conyers Darcy<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;and his wife,<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eastwich_Park#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBazalgette2011-1\"><em><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;Elizabeth, daughter of John Rotherham of Much Waltham, Essex and the recent widow of&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Thomas_Howard,_6th_Baron_Howard_of_Effingham&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1\"><em>Thomas Howard, 6th Lord Howard of Effingham<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eastwich_Park#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrooke1964-2\"><em><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;In 1801 James Lawrell bought Eastwick Park from&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Richard_Howard,_4th_Earl_of_Effingham\"><em>Richard Howard<\/em><\/a><em>, the 4th and last Earl of Effingham (of the first creation).

I remember her arrival. Suddenly things began to change in our morning school assembly. There were new ideas, new components, creative changes.<\/p>\n<p>She taught my older brother Arnold in his last year at Eastwick in \u201863\/4. She became my class teacher in September \u201964, and remained so for two years until I left in July 1966.<\/p>\n<p>She had a one-eyed Song Thrush in her garden called Nelson.<\/p>\n<p>She introduced a maths-teaching tool called Colour Factor which was very modern but which I totally failed to comprehend.<\/p>\n<p>It was the time of the Tokyo Olympics. She set maths questions on the board and a race to answer them, awarding Gold, Silver and Bronze stars to the winners . . . I remained starless.<\/p>\n<p>However, she also got us boys gardening (photo above &#8211; the girls were busy dressmaking I think) &#8211; and she put up a bird table outside the classroom window. This was pioneering stuff. At this time feeding the birds mostly meant throwing crusts of bread out in the back garden or hanging up bacon-rind. She bought proper bird feed. She put up large RSPB bird identification charts on the classroom wall and Robbie Medland and I competed to identify each bird (Robbie always won). We thereby came to know birds which we had never actually seen \u2013 and many which I have still not seen.<\/p>\n<p>Miss Bayley also encouraged my artistic leanings &#8211; drawing and painting animals and birds. She even set me up with a one-boy show of my work on the corridor wall.<\/p>\n<p>She paid for me to join the RSPB, and continued to pay my subscription for some years after I had left Eastwick and moved away. We corresponded during that time, until I grew into a teenager and probably just stopped writing any more.<\/p>\n<p>I did meet her once during those few years, at an Eastwick School fete in 1968 or &#8217;69. By this time I had been growing for a couple or so years. I towered above her.&nbsp; As the photo above shows, she was really very short, only I hadn\u2019t noticed when I was short too. Now I was an awkward teenager. I don\u2019t know what I said to her. I hope I thanked her for being so very good to me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">*<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>The Tumbling Team, 1960 :<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-602\" src=\"https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/tumbling-team-c1960.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"521\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/tumbling-team-c1960.jpg 328w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/tumbling-team-c1960-300x183.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 521px) 100vw, 521px\" \/><\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Back row: David Pody, Trevor Storey, Richard Bryan, Mr Taylor, Robert Francis, Paul Guttridge, Anthony Rowley<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Front row: Mary Scoble, me, Geraldine Scoble&nbsp; (Names supplied by Maureen Argyle nee McConnell).<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-603\" src=\"https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/the-tumbling-team-c1960.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"526\" height=\"381\"> <br>I think that must be the great sycamore in the background.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I didn&#8217;t know any of the 1960 Tumbling Team, I only remember that from the time I joined Eastwick (in 1960) I watched each year&#8217;s team perform at the school&#8217;s Summer Fete and yearned to be part of their fantastic gymnastics.&nbsp; What I loved most was their quick-fire sliding across dining tables in alternate directions routine. &nbsp; Mr Taylor was the coach.&nbsp; The team members were selected from the top class only.&nbsp; I finally reached the top class &#8211; in September 1965.&nbsp; Mr Taylor asked for volunteers.&nbsp; I volunteered.&nbsp; We had our first&nbsp; session in the school hall.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Tragically, that first session turned out also to be our last.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I was (still am !) devastated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Perhaps Mr Taylor was by then too busy being Headmaster to find the time for training a Tumbling Team.&nbsp; (I also recall that, by then, he no longer entertained us with the occasional Brer Rabbit story in morning Assembly).&nbsp; Who knows ?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I could probably have been an Olympic gymnast if only there had been an Eastwick Tumbling Team in 1965\/6.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;*<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Bob Medland sent me some pages from his <strong>Autograph<\/strong> book of 1966.&nbsp; You may have to turn upside down to read some of them :<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-613\" src=\"https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/Autographs-1966.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1021\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/Autographs-1966.png 1021w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/Autographs-1966-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/Autographs-1966-768x527.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1021px) 100vw, 1021px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1965 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-653\" src=\"https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/Bookham-dancing-1965-comp.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"985\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/Bookham-dancing-1965-comp.jpg 985w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/Bookham-dancing-1965-comp-300x234.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bundellbros.co.uk\/kevansmiscellany\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/10\/Bookham-dancing-1965-comp-768x599.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 985px) 100vw, 985px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Daily Mail (June&#8217;65)<\/em> : &nbsp; Jackie Russel-Bates, Linda Davies, ?

Initially I went to Bookham Primary School. Then when Eastwick was opened I was moved there, so probably around 1957\/8. That first picture was taken in those very early days probably about 1958\/9. No uniform yet. I am front row third from the left maybe aged about 7 or 8. I think that&#8217;s before the main school building was built and you can see the wooden classroom building in the background. I remember many classes with Mrs Teague in the old wooden hut that you can just see in the right of the picture.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The second picture (I&#8217;m back row last on the right) would have been when I was about 11, so probably 1962. That&#8217;s the year Mrs Teague staged the Gilbert &amp; Sullivan operetta &#8220;The Mikado&#8221; Nearly all of those in the picture had a role in the performance. I played Nanki Poo the wandering minstrel. Mrs Teague was a member of the Doyly Carte Opera Company, played piano&nbsp; and had a fantastic singing voice.<\/em><br><br><em>The third picture must have been a fancy dress competition.
