The in-side of the North part of the house was reovated in about 1982 when mr and Mrs Warr Brought the house ..when they brought it ,it was empty and had no stairs to the upper area of the house.

Mr and Mrs Warr lived behind The Rose Pub in Wokingham town centre never in Crowthorne

The photos that you can find of the Warr Clinic have ONLY added the porch on the outside of the building ...when brought in 1982 it was that odd shape .

really Sorry but will not go into any more details on an open forum but if you pm me I will give you more details of the inside .......BUT knowing the inside does not solve many problems as its very odd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I went to Keep Hatch when Miss Arnold and Mr Lee were there !!!! I would guess that Miss Arnold has long gone ..as I think she was 90 when I went ...Mr Lee has also gone as he passed away some year ago from Cancer ...

St Dustbins............LOL I dont think things were any better at any of the schools back then BUT Miss Holland at The Holt wasnt to be messed with !!!!

what a lovely thread ....memories!

I guess ..behindthefrogs is as it says ............?

I went to keephatch infants and juniors when they took you at any age coz they had places.....

Shame when schools merge and you have to have new names for them.

i then went onto The Holt ..which I believe is still a girls school

Yes it is a shame when things change ...and its not always for the best!
