Hi, I was Anne Tickle (now North) from 1962 intake. The memories I would like to share are the outside  loos that froze in the winter and we would get sent home from the old St. Ed's at the top of the market place.  We used to walk across the tarmac to the hall, where we had assembly and Scottish Dancing taught by "Taf".  We had to walk to the Old Vicarage for art and pottery which I enjoyed. I think some of those classrooms at the back of the school  were like the old wards at Harold Wood Hospital, kind of prefabricated. The teachers had a tiny brick building of their own I believe.

 

Also, remember the move to the new St. Ed's in about 1965.  Princess Margaret opened the school officially. She had on layers of make up for the cameras, I was amazed.

 

Our year was the first to use the new 6th form suite. It was great.  We could make our own tea and toast after school and listen to music in our common room.
