Hi Ron
I was at the juniors  from 1939-1942 i was a Trojan then i was transfered to the Shaftesbury House about three miles up a gravil road.
i remember the Headmaster Read. I think the master of the shoeshop was Winton. I remember going down to the airraid shelter quite a lot during the War.
I remember Thompson ( Douglas) and his brother Peter sadly no longer with us.
I am in touch with Douglas Thompson i ring him occasionly and he rings me.
I think the film shows were on a Wednesdays and if you punished for any reason you could not watch the film show, do you remember the Senna we used to have on a Saturdays after Breakfast When i was at the Shaftesbury House we used to march to the Juniors School for our lessons and on Sundays we marched to the Chapel which was next to the School we Marched behind the band.didnt you go to the Shaftesbury house i think you went there when you was about 12 years of age and you wore long trousers then.
I left the School in 1948.
gerald.

If there is anything else you want to know keep in touch.

hi motton.
i was at the bisley school and shaftesbury house from 1939-1948 i new your dad he taught me all about shoemaking we made all the shoes for the school and the clothes, we could also learn engineering and woodwork,
sadly the school closed in 1959.
the junior school was demolished and they built houses there, the shaftesbury house was also demolished about the same time.  a prison has been built where the house was, called coldingley prison it opened in 1969, the surrounding area is now a housing estate.
regards

hi eric
i am sorry i do not have any information in the 1910 period, i have some photos of young boys working in the bisley orchard cleaning the road and weeding ,the photo could date back to the 1900 period and maybe back before that.
i also have some photos of young boys in the band marching along the road dating back to the 1900 or before that, there is no way of nowing when the photos were taken.
you might try contacting the
surrey history centre,
130 goldsworth road,
woking
surrey  gu21 6nd

good luck        gerald
