Berridge Road playground
It was the summer holiday, so the playground was deserted. When I learned a lot of what I know here in the 1950s there was no play equipment (we kicked a bald tennis ball around or played marbles) and the outside toilets were in the corner where the mural is. In those days there were dinner huts on the far (Kenslow Avenue) side.

Berridge Primary and Nursery School
I don't have much time for the pronouncements of Ofsted, but I was pleased to read that Berridge is considered "good" with "outstanding" features, just as it was by local people when I was a pupil here in the 1950s.

The back of Berridge Primary and Nursery School
Where I was here in the 1950s, infant classes were in the building to the left and juniors on the top floor of the larger building in the background, which fronts Berridge Road. The last few classes of Berridge Elementary for Boys were on the ground floor until the last of them left at 14, I think in the mid fifties. By then a lot of secondary-modern schools and two new grammar schools had been built to cater for the post-war bulge.

Berridge Road West and Berridge Primary School
Bright sunlight and strong shadow at twenty-past nine on a late-September morning. The school looks much as it did when I learned lots of things there in the 1950s.

Berridge Road Junior School, 1993
Looking much the same as it had when I was a pupil in the 1950s - though there were no trees in the infants' playground then, and all the doors were painted municipal green.
