Queen's Walk School, The Meadows

Queen's Walk School 1947 -1952 I attended Queen's Walk Junior School from age 5 to age 11 years old. One of my school teachers was named Mr Moore. He must have been in his late twenties so we called him 'Old Man Moore'. One day he asked the class to paint a picture, subject not suggested. I sat pndering what to draw or paint. Mr Moore, after a while he came behind me and said 'What's that, a foggy night in London Town?' On another occasion, again having to do a drawing or colour picture, I drew a scene from a Western film (I loved Red Indians and always wanted them to win in the films we saw, but they never did). One of the Indians was named Cochise, who was a famous Apache, but when 'Old Man Moore' looked over my shoulder and said, 'Who's Chockice?' But he was a brilliant teacher in spite of his ignorance.

I was born in 1952, but i remember going to Welbeck, we lived in Mona Cottages in Kinglake St. and moved to Clifton were we stayed there until 1965, then emigrated to Australia.... now 61 living in Perth, Western Australia

Great to receive your memories all the way from Australia, Alan. Do you have any photos or other memories about your time in Nottinghamshire?

I went to Queens Walk from 1947 until 1953 when I moved to Trent Bridge. The head master at Queens Walk was a little guy by the name of Pulfer and two of his staff were Mr. Raven and Miss Costa. I lived in Furlong terrace on Middle Furlong Roadso the walk to school was pretty short

I went to Queens Walk School from 1945 until 1951 when i moved to Trent Bridge School. I also remember Mr.Pulfrey and in particular Mr.Moore, he was my Form Master. What a brilliant Teacher he was too. If there is anyone out there who attended the School around that period please e-mail and maybe we can swap info. Thanks. Robin

Does anyone know is this was the Queens Walk Girls Board School in 1881?  I have books from my great grandmother who attended that school in 1881 to 1884.

I was here until 1958. I remember Mr Moore, Mr Walker, Mr Ward, Mrs Edwards and Miss Sylvie as well as Mr Pulfer and Mr Howlett. Happy days. One year two boys started to bully me as I walked home up Queen's Walk. This happened a couple of times and I told my mother. The next day Mr Pulfer came into my class, followed by the two boys and my mother, He gave them the strap on their hands and declared that he would not tolerate bullying in his school- problem solved.
