G'day petert et al
I was at Bisley Boys' School from 1945-48. My dad was too old to enter the war and was seconded to Bisley to teach shoemaking. His name, Tom Winton. Freddie White was the tailor. Yes and I remember Mr Read. Blind as a bat, but he knew when a boy failed to salute him when passing.
I returned to Bisley in November '07. The school is no longer there. An estate of houses in its place, covering the school site, and the farm, and Cobbets farm across the road; all houses.
The chapel is now the village hall, and Topper's pond on which we used to slide in the winter has been drained to about 1/4 its original size.
