School Dinners...

I don’t recall very much about school dinners, other than ‘chocolate crunch and pink custard’. The chocolate crunch was lethal – so hard that when you eventually split it with your spoon the pieces flew across the dinner hall. The pink custard was thick, lumpy and usually cold by the time we got to eat it.

This picture (taken from google streetview) shows the back of the kitchens on the left, with School House on the right and the roof of the P I Block just visible in the middle.

About...

I attended Uplands Middle School, Sudbury, Suffolk during two separate periods. Great Cornard Middle School wasn’t quite built, so several of us were bussed to Uplands approximately 1973. Great Cornard Middle School was finished approximately 1974, so we all left Uplands and attended our local school instead. I’d only been at Great Cornard Middle School a few months when my father was given the job as school caretaker at Uplands …..so back I went! I’d now like to share some of those memories with you…..

This photo taken from google streetview shows School House (the caretakers house) 

where we lived.

Just behind it you can see the P I Block.
