THOSE WERE THE DAYS….

My memory of the school is the entrance hall being cold and darkish while the classrooms were bright and airy and fairly warm most of the time. The turf for the school fires was sup-plied by the families of pupils. I remember the quite pleasant aroma of the classrooms. It came from a mixture that included turf smoke, chalk, ink, sunlight soap, probably some kind of polish and various other substances.

My childhood memories of prison school

I started my education in the “Old” school in Prizon - it was an old building and very basic. We had an open fire and the Dads brought a cart of turf on their turns to keep it going. When that ran out, we were told to bring a sod each.
