Terrified on the escalator: the Festival of Britain

told by Diane Stringer

Schooldays

My name is Diane Stringer and I was part of the Queen Elizabeth the 1st group second from the right as you look at the picture. I was I think about 8 yrs old, I also remember going to London to The Festival of Britain.,and being terrified on the underground escalator. The nominated person for my group was our dinner lady a Mrs Robey, I remember her as a plump jolly lady who guided us through our adventure in London. I lived in Queslett Road and if I remember rightly Angela Richardson lived next door. My first teachers name when I started was Miss Smith,my mom tells me that as I had a lisp then it came out as mith mith. !! that would have been in 1947/8
