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.

Berridge Road Junior School
A close-up showing, on the top floor, two of the windows of what in 1958-9 was Mr Cook's class, where I learned to read an OS map. The building is very typical of schools built in Nottingham after the Forster Education Act of 1870.

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 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.

Brushfield Street and Berridge Primary and Nursery School
When I started here in 1953, we infants were housed in the single-storey building on the right. As juniors we moved to the taller building fronting Berridge Road. (As I stood to take this picture I wasn't thinking of the beautiful Bank Holiday weather but of how, on 6 November each year, Brushfield Street was full of the still-smoking remains of the previous night's bonfires - often including sofas - and fireworks. That was in the olden days, of course, when the biggest and loudest Standard bangers cost 6d.)

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.
