I'm not sure Furze Platt was an annexe to Alwyn. More likely, don't you think, that it was the junior predecessor to Courthouse School? By the way, my grandfather was caretaker at Alwyn in the post war years.

I went to Alwyn in 1947 and our first classroom was in the Scout's hut next to Ditton's Pond and near Findley's farm.  I remember my Mother walking me up to oaken Grove end of All Saints Avenue to catch a coach.
Could that be what you are thinking of?  Or is it that too early?

Just re-read the posts and we were certainly there at the same time.  Mr Ripon and Mrs Wheeler were there when I was.  And Miss Vince, Miss Abson? and Mr Appleton also Miss Pickering.

Graham,
Have just met up with some old pupils from our infancy and she swears our first term was in the Furze Platt Memorial Hall. 
So you were right!  What was your brother's name?
