Title: Rokeby Street and Bridge Road School Stratford
Post by: christyb on Friday 24 March 17 17:11 GMT (UK)

My step-father attended Bridge Road primary school, Stratford from the age of 5 to 14 (1927 to 1936) Would anyone know if any photos exist of the school and/or pupils?

He was baptised at St Johns Church in 1922. His family lived at 11 Rokeby Street, Stratford until it was destroyed by bombing in 1941, then moved to Somerset where he still lives, aged 94.

If anyone has any photos of the school or pre-war Rokeby Street they would be willing to share he would love to see them.
