Berrington Village Pump Edition 143 Aug - Sep 2019

HARLEY SCHOOL TO WELCOME PUPILS BACK AFTER 48 YEARS
After closing its doors in July 1961 Harley School (now the village hall) is to
welcome back its pupils to an afternoon of memories, re-collections and
nostalgia (and of course tea and cake)!
All ex-pupils are invited “to come to school” on Sunday 15 th September 2 –
5 pm to share with us their reminiscences, achievements and experiences.
Ironbridge Gorge Museum has kindly offered to loan items ‘the children’
would have used at school at that time. We hope these objects will
provoke memories of their school days, schools friends and teachers of a
bygone era.
Residents of Harley are greatly looking forward to talking to ‘the children”
and will be on hand to capture their recollections and stories. Villager Jerry
Bridgeland said “as we are all getting older and before it’s too late we
would like to capture their recollections of school life in our village”.
So “Ex-pupils from Harley School are invited to an afternoon of
reminiscences, tea and cake 2 – 5 pm on Sunday 15 th September, 2019”
