Who is this?

Last month Wacky asked you to dig out your memories of the Henley Hall. In just one year’s time, that building which we take so much for granted will be 100 years old. Your ideas to commemorate that, please.

Wacky wants to publish each month snippets of the history of the Hall which has served the community so well. Your memories please!

I have a signed autograph of David Vaughan dated June 1947 and a coloured drawing of the school badge (below). The school dining room was the kitchen and the rest of the rooms were class rooms. The toilets were not in those rooms until much later. Kitchen and toilets in basement!”
