Clifton Road, (Primary School) Infants & Junior.......fifteen minutes of marbles in the gutter on the way, with a good bombsite on the corner of St Paul's Rd, for messing about on the way home. Going to that school gave me a lot of fun, showed me people and possibilities, and effectivlely gave a base of independendence that has just kept growing - I owe it a very great deal. Since then I've been educated in UK, Africa, US and NZ. That was only possible because of Clifton Rd. It wasn't just what I learned in class, it was everything else that made the broad future reality.
10 years ago through brum press, I made contact with Mrs Philips 'our' teacher for the last 2 years there, and she's 20 years older than us, and will be 86 in April - I always phone her, and although she doesn't have good health, she's so cheerful.
