any photos from cowley infant school sw9 1967
Trouble is that when we are at school who cares about photos?
It’s only when we get old we like to look back!!! Hey that’s something we older folk have over you youngsters. We have photo albums. Who wants to sit in front of a screen all day? Looking at selfies? Not the same. By the way, I went to Cowley after Brixton Central (Hackford Road and now called Durand I believe) was bombed.
Way back in 1944.
