Castle Lower School, Goldington Road, Bedford
When I attended this school in the late 1950's and early 60's, it was called Goldington Road Junior School. The Infants school was in the building behind this one.
I remember the headmaster was Mr Mackenzie, and my teacher in my last year was Miss Webb, who managed a class of about 50 children. The years below mine had smaller classes - Brickhill junior and infants schools opened and children were moved to the new school. One of the teachers moved as well, Mr Gunning.
