1950s · Twickenham Road School

A child of Irish heritage

I went to Twickenham Road School from 1950 till I was 11. It was such a good school but they had issues with me because I was a child of Irish heritage with too many siblings. In spite of this I believe I had a good education in spite of their prejudices against my family? My mother and father were a fantastic combination of intelligence and good parenting which has resulted in them having 14 good human beings who contribute beautifully to life. How clever were they? We all are so grateful for the genes we inherited.
