Not sure of the year Shaznay. Wish my parents had put a date on the back of the picture. I remember many of the faces on the picture but can only put a name to a couple (Wendy Hallam and Ian Wade). I have a terrible memory for names and am kicking myself because I'm sure I'd recognise most of the names if I heard them. Would love people to identify themselves on the pic. I'm second from the left on the front row of the girls by the way.... a proper chubster! LOL!

What a fabulous picture! I have searched in vain for years to try and find some photos of the old foxhill school This is the first one i have seen and the prefab schoolroom is just as I remember it Thanks so much for sharing this

[shaznay]

me too Ms Interpret

I know we were in the same class at Foxhill

fond memories good and bad

the old prefabs......horrible weren't they, so depressing

Then the lovely new school, just glad I was there long enough to experience it, left there in 71

Would love to go and visit it now

 

ps, I can never remember having a class photo taken though, can you ?

Hi Shaznay

i have a montage of all my old school photos from the age of 5 none of them a class photo i cant remember ever having one taken i think this one is a little earlier than when we were there Some of the faces look familiar but i just cant place them. A friend did show me a group picture of her class at nursery school though some years ago. I didnt go to nursery my mum wouldnt let me!!

Someone is doing up the old farm on Foxhill Cres it looks a massive job i wish them well and hope they dont develop the land that goes with it but I think it may be up for sale. I used to be sent to the gate to ring the bell and get eggs and milk from there ( and once a Christmas turkey that i am sure the owner killed whilst we waited!!!!) I love reading this thread and so must a lot of other people as its had over 30000 viewings!!!
