Carbolic soap and the grey lady

told by Siobhan Davis

Schooldays

I went to Kingsland Road in the 80s they were the best days of my life, It all went downhill from there on though when I went to the Comp I remember Mrs Hewwit reception class, Mrs Dolby, they had been there the longest, the smell of carbolic soap and the rumours of the grey lady ghost in the toilet, ha ha, Its all too modern now, From the pictures on here that was exactly how it was when i was there, with a big old tree at the bottom of the playing ground and the old class rooms we used to pretend was a stage and sing songs (silly I know). the Hills near the canteen, where if it was sunny we were allowed to play I can still smell the grass now best days of my life.
