Dear Sir,

I can remember starting my school days at what is now called the Old Penny School in Magdalene Road prior to going ‘up’ to the big school in St Paul’s Road, where the YMCA now stands.

I lived in Nelson Road at the time and can even remember a trolley bus blowing up at the Cricket Ground, as I sat behind the driver – I used to drive it with him. My congratulations on a first class publication.

Ron Bridger.
