Reworked picture of 1944. Gas mask boxes carried by children. Air raid shelters on the right. I am standing at the classroom entrance left.I do not recall the air raid shelters being used.
I was at the school from its onset in 1940 until 1945 when I started at Handsworth Grammar School. Sundridge Road School became the source of many good memories. I remember a boy called Roy Benwell who live in Sundridge Road itself and a girl called Betty Clifford.

Filmed for Voices of Kingstanding in 2011, Margaret Crompton describes joining the Land Army and the air raids on Kingstanding during the Second World War.
