Langley Mill/Aldercar School Teachers replied on: 4/14/2005 3:49:21 PM Your post has really refreshed my memory-I was having difficulty with memory of Aldercar Infants. Miss Clarke! She was headmistress when I was there, she only used to have half a dozen "chosen" ones in her classroom, which was a small room off the main "top" class room-her grey hair was already thinning when I was there.Mrs Weekley I remember-Mrs Stenson was there after my time, but her daughter was in my class.There was also Miss Hodgkiss and Miss Greenfield/Greensmith? who emigrated to New Zealand.We were very impressed by her going to live there as we had seen newspaper cuttings of New Zealand as we followed the Queen's Commonwealth tour-we knew it was further away than Nottingham!!!I think the teachers had a cushy time as our afternoons seemed to be taken up with listening to the wireless, followed by putting our heads on our desks for the afternoon nap-woe betide if you were caught making any movement! I remember Miss(Mrs?) Gratton at Langley Mill Girls school before the boys joined us-she was very strict and had a deep voice (maybe she was a smoker??????)
