i went to the hill school for girls.47 honor ok road next to a little white bungalow which my father built for 3700 pounds back in 1953.it was opposite some police flats,anyway the headmistress was a miss jamison she was knocking around with a defrocked priest who had been stealing funds from another school,i think it was st andrews college in catford ,they made the front page of the sunday pictorial i think it was and he was sent back to the crowbar hotel for a few more years.fredie mills the boxer sent his daughter there for a while as did ann shelton big during the war years.it wasnt easy being a boy and having to wear a pink blazer,why didnt they just named me sue and be done with it ,a strange start to life for sure,best wishes from calgary canada david
I can just about remember on occasion seeing Freddie Mills (who was later murdered) turning up in his big car (I think it was a Jaguar) to collect his daughter from the school. Yes, pink blazers! I can also remember the bungalow which I recall was set back further from the road than the school next door with a fairly long lawn leading down to it. I guess it must have been built where a much larger house once stood. The police flats opposite were (are still?) called Havelock House.
