Through the doors at the back of the room was Mr Harts office.........and you did not want to go in there if you had done some-thing wrong! Yes I had a visit once as I remember.....!! In this class in 1966 I sat next to a small lad by the name of Roy Cazier. Sadly he drowned at a quarry I used to go fishing at with my Dad. Just below Tower hill in May 1966.Never never forgotten......... My mums brother Norman Alker and Roys Father were good friends when they where growing up.
