Plumstead Central School/ Conway Primary School
'This very early school photograph is a school in Plumstead in the 1890's, but which one I have no idea. (Possibly Conway?) My grandfather,
Arthur Manwaring is in the front row of desks, on your left
as you look at it.'
Iris Hannaford (now Gildon) is second in from left in back row.
Cissi (the
girl Iris wrote to in the "Blitz
over Plumstead and districts" story) is back row, far
left.
A souvenir of Conway Road School, taken in rather an interesting year, don't you think?

The girl on the bottom row third from left is my sister Irene Margaret Ball (known as Margaret), John Singleton is sixth from left. I, John Ball, was born in 1943 and Margaret was two years younger than me. We lived in Chestnut Rise and all my brothers and sisters (there were 6 of us) went to Conway but to different secondary schools. The girl in the third row 5th from left was Sandra Lee. She lived in a Tobacconist/Sweet Shop in Brewery Road near Earl Rise. Do you recognise anyone? If so, email me.
Do you recognise anyone else?

This would have been my last term at Conway. The teacher was not in this shot but his name was Mr. Mockeridge. I would dearly love to know what happened to all these kids. At Conway Road I was in an early music band but was only allowed to play the triangle. I remember the music teacher, who played Handel's Water Music most of the time, wore horn-rim glasses and had purple hair. When she sneezed she would say "A-jug"! - Robert Morris
Looking
at my school report for 1960 class 1c. I came 31 out of a class
of 38. Gone down hill since then. Our head teacher was a Mrs
F SKELTON. The form mistress was M.K.A. CARTER. She wrote "Derek
has made good progress". I think that was more out of pity
more then fact.

(Click on photo for a much larger view) M.E. WATTS was class mistress. I was 33 out of 38 this year. Can I help it if I'm in a class of super brains. Was it that free milk in those small bottles or those strange reddish tablets? Nether of which did me much good as my London County Council school report shows. What is Science? - Derek.
Along with a friend who also went to the school we visited Conway School two years ago. We were made very welcome and were given a tour of the school. The school had changed very little. The outside toilets had gone and there was a small new extension but overall the school had not changed that much. In particular the small narrow cloakrooms were still used for the same purpose and it was very strange standing there taking it in.
When at Conway to stop us little mights from getting squashed and damaging peoples cars. Some bright spark stuck signs on the paving slabs to warn us of the danger, of crossing the road to school. Needles to say over the time the paths have been dug up and relaid. Also the number of parked cars made it impossible to cross in any case. This appears to be the last semi intact one in Gallosson Road opposite the school keepers house. (see below) The water company is on the way shortly. So another bit of the past vanishes.
