More from the photo collection of Sue Carnochan (Miss Butlin)
By Sue Carnochan and Andy Gilbert
I've now had a chance to meet up again with Sue Carnochan (better known to many as Miss Butlin) and to scan and index more of her photo collection.
I'm starting with this group merely because it has some of my older sister Liz Gilbert - there are many, many more photos to come and I'll post them over the next few months.
To start off with this time, a photo of Sue, my sister and I as we reminisced over tea, cakes and photos!
Then it's back to the 1960s for photo 2, with a shot of Liz Gilbert, Linda Capon and Sue Herriott on the beach at Seaford. All three girls were keen on sailing and would often be out in the boats at Piddinghoe Pond or Seaford beach.
Photo 3 shows one of the school's teachers, Nina Grove, whilst on a school trip to Scotland.
Sue Carnochan helped organise many field trips and camping trips.
Photo 4 shows Sue Carnochan and Liz Gilbert outside one of the (very basic!) tents.
Photo 5 shows more sailing, and we think this may be at Whitstable for a competition. We can't put a name to all the faces yet, but four of those that we can recognise are Sue Carnochan, Maurice Norman, Arthur Oxborrow and Simon Thomas.
Photo 6 was taken at Piddinghoe Pond and shows Trevor Archer and Linda Capon.
Finally, photo 7 was taken at a sports day on the school's sports field in the mid 1960s. Can anyone name the two lads?
Tea, cakes and slides!
