London and Middlesex / Re: Ashford residental home . middlesex

Mention was made by Argyle I think concerning a head master that he remembered as Mr Tregonning he was in fact Hugh Hambley TREGONING known by all and sundry in the school as Triggy but was not so far as I am aware ever head master. He retired around 1934 I think and I have a copy of the school magazine in which his retirement is mentioned. His daughter also spent some time at the school looking after the infants during the war I think but not certain about the details as she was well advanced in years with failing memory when she told me. He passed on around 1950.
I have some photos of pupils and also staff I think but all are buried deep waiting for a move from Alderney to Cornwall but I have promised on contributor that I will scan and once that is done will notify here. I expect that I will donate what I have got to the Archive which as been mentioned previously.

Of interest I lived in Woodthorpe Rd as a baby and my grandparents in Station Crescent, Asford, my greatgrandmother lived in Stanwell Road and she my Grandfather and a Great Aunt are buried in the Asford cemetery.

Florentina, Sorry life was so harsh makes me worry what sort of regime was in  place during my relatives time. Always posed by daughter as being good but what she knew was only what her father told her and what little she saw during the war. All my limited info is from the 30's well before your time

The photos are on the mainland and I am living in Alderney but am waiting for my things to arrive over the next few months. Will let yopu know when they do. The building I believe were demolished after the War and were at the bottom of Woodthorpe Road I think. Does that agree with what you knew?

My great uncle taught carpentry I think amongst other things.

regards

Martin

My Great Uncle and later hos daughter taught at the home and another relative by marriage was the engineering superintendent [I think] I have some photos stored away somewhere of various children at the school but don't have any names I am afraid. I think the school was actually called

The West London Residential School and housed around 600 pupils from very young babies until late teens. My aunt always said that there 200 of each and 200 infants whether this is true or accurate I don't know. Her father retired around mid 1930's
