May Day at Kingsland School, 1957
1957 · Kingsland Road
Kingsland School May Day celebration in 1957.
Hazel Sherrard, who started at Kingsland Road School in 1955, remembers on Voices of Kingstanding “making hats out of cheese boxes & tissue paper then having our pictures taken with the May Queen”, and the maypole: “We had the May pole up in the hall. There was a hole in the middle of the floor for it to lock into.”
Chris Hillcox’s school timeline on Voices of Kingstanding records that Kingsland opened on 23 September 1935 as a joint infant and junior school.
