NEWHAVEN COUNTY SECONDARY SCHOOL PART 1

Top picture, Photo 01, on left is Jim Dudley. I went through Newhaven Secondary Modern (later Tideway) with Jim between 1959 and 1964. He lived in Cairo Avenue in Peacehaven but in later years moved to Newhaven when he became an Architectual Consultant. Sadly Jim passed away in 2004 but I have great memories of our school days and when we met again at the reunion in 1998. Mr. A. R. Furner was indeed the Headmaster.

Picture 06 - 2nd from left Roger White, 2nd from right looks like Cyril Ireland.

 Yes these names are correct---- John editor

Photo 5 on the left is Colin Moore, next to Him Brian Terry, who was killed by a car in Brighton Road not many years after leaving school. I think the teacher's name was Smith. Far right is Roger Hayward. Photo 6 on the left is Don Gates. Photo 8 on the Right is Neil Stubbs

In photo 5, I think that the secornd from the right is Kenneth Scales, but somebody may know better.

Photo 1: On the right Mick Noakes has his arm around Pam Smith, who was my first 'proper' girlfriend! Pam's dad owned Haven dry cleaners in South Road.

I was at this school from September 1953 to april 1957. Mr Furner started the same day as I did and Mr Sauders was my first teacher. My best friend was Anita Ware. I would love to see a photo of her as she died several years ago.

The boy on the right in picture 5 is my cousin Roger Howard.

Thanks Terry, Name added to photo. Editors

Just a comment, I have identified Jim Dudley in photo 01 on my previous posting on 26.03.10 but a question mark has been subsequently added ! I can assure you I am correct.

My apologies, this comes under publishers headings as "Editors errors and omissions" and has now been corrected. RB (editor)

Hi, I left this school at Easter 1960, the lads in the 5th photo are unknown to me but I was taught by Mr Smith "Smiffy". Although I used to pull a few jokes on him, he really was a good teacher and I really did learn from him. Many a time he would say to me "See me after class" which of course I did. He would then ask me why I had to see him, and I always replied "Don't know Sir", he would then say "If you can't remember boy then you had better get going". His memory certainly was not that bad.

In photo 4 is Mary (Smith?), I sat next to her in Mr. Smith's 3a2 class circa 1956/7 but did not know she played the violin!

Cyril Ireland tells me that standing next to him in picture No. 06 unnamed is Ron Cale.

I was a student 1960 - 61 and attended Miss Cavadini's shorthand typing class, she changed my life.

I was quiet and shy and a terrible student. She gave me hope.

I will never forget her or Tideways.

God bless you all.

Big surprise to see this web site, a big step back in life to see the teachers and mates from those days. left during 1963 by the way.

I would love to know if anyone has contact with two friends from those days, Brenda Palfrey and Mary Ralph. Regards to all that remember me.

Hi Roger, don't have any info on the girls, but I think I remember shooting rooks nests with your dad !

Note From Editor:- Completely against the law in this day and age, luckily for the rooks.

Is that Rod Vinyl, lead guitar and e type jag owner? 

Yes Rog the very same!

Would the editor mind giving my email address to Rob please so we can have a chat about the old days without clogging up your page.

Sorry for misspelling your name Rob, Rod is your brother of course.

Email address passed on Roger for you, John - Editor
