Memories of Janett Stone from 1954
I started at Peckham Road when I was 3 years old and went through the school till I was 15. I remember my Teacher in the 4th year of the seniors was a Miss Eastgate who taught German also my form teacher, she was strict but nice. My 1st teacher in the juniors was a Miss Allen and she stood no nonsens, also the was a Mr Huzzlebee who called bumblebee.
Memories of Janet Salsbury (Priscilla)
I lived in Hornsey Road (opposite the gates to the boys dept of the secondary school) I went to Peckham Rd Infants and juniors from 1951 until 1957. My younger sister, Barbara, followed two years later. I remember my time there as a very happy one although I was very shy and didn’t mix very well. I remember Miss Boot, who was the head of the infants. Miss Allen, who taught us to sew in the first year of juniors and got most upset one day when someone said that they ‘hadn’t got any RAG’ to sew on. She was furious that any one could call her precious fabric ‘RAG’
Memories of Roger Boulton
I remember visiting at times(other PF`s nearer)–but have particular memory of turning sharply and putting my cartlidge out when I was 13 in 1957.I was carried to the Pavilion to await an ambulance. I had previously done my other leg(cartlidge) two years previous (age 11) on holiday in Devon. They took that one out but not the Cooksey Lane one—troubled me ever since.

Memories of Phyllis Eastgate (Senior Girls Teacher)
Recollections from Julie Eastgate – My great aunt taught the senior girls and did indeed teach German (and was strict but nice). She was pretty good at German and would visit friends over there who were also teachers and would ‘pop in’ on classes when her German friends visited they would also visit the school she was teaching at (I have found a letter dated November 1948 and am not sure if she was a Peckham Rd then, she taught at Loxton St School in Saltley and I’ve not yet found information on when she started at Peckham Rd). They arranged pen-friends between their respective pupils.

Peckham Road 1958 was her last class – she is the one in the blue suit in the back row.

These are from a school trip to Holland in 1954 – Miss Woody (I think appears in Amsterdam 12) and she and my aunt are both in the small group. The group visited Amsterdam, Keukenhof and the Lisse flower festival.

I THINK HE DESERVES A MENTION
.
ARTHUR SABIN.
Athough I went to Dulwich Road School, I remember playing football against Peckam road School, Sabin was Peckams goalkeeper, and his reputation had gone before him, I thought at the time hes too small to be a goal keeper
but he was good anyway. That was 1953
He later played two games for ASTON VILLAs first team in goal against Tottenham Hotspur and Sheffield Wednesday but unforunately he died aged just 21 years of age.

Is anyone aware of where the Aurthur Sabin memorial cup is located. My Nan Dorethy Sabin, aurthurs sister is trying to locate the cup as we have never been able to find a location.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Samantha, Have you looked on voices of Kingstanding for Peckam road school there was no mention of Arthur when I wrote that article but it did bring out some replys about Arthur there was also a mention of his girl friend at the time of his death who he was engaged to. I have out of interest in other things to do with football looked for the records of all related records to do with local amateur sport but the place they were stored in went up in smoke a long time ago so no records which leaves the central library.
Any Way Best wishes will get in touch if I hear any thing. Allan

Hello Samantha,
My Dad was Ron Sabin, and was also Arthur’s cousin. He lived on Hurlingham Road. He passed away recently (late 2020), but told us stories of Arthur when we were children. My Dad had the same stature/build as Arthur and they looked strikingly similar. I went to school in Kingstanding.
All the best to you and your Nan.
Richard Sabin.

Hi Allan, I think the site is very interesting and will always leave a reply. Tell me about yourself, are you married? what family do you have and how long did you live in Kingstanding? Were you surprised that I knew of Arthur Sabin? please keep in touch, best regards Barbara

Hi Barbara, I have seen a photo of Sabin, when he was playing for Peckam under 13s, I played against him at senior age. In the mentioned photo you can see what I mean about him being small to play for the Villa he must have shot up in height.
Also after his death a cup was given for teams to play for, school teams no longer exist since the late sixties,( it was thought wrong for children to play in competiitions ) poor things, but what happened to that cup, was it donated for schools football, Sunday football.
Now the powers that be have a knew idea, lets encourage sport in schools.
Yes Barbara I am married, and still kicking.
Well not, kicking if you know what I mean.

I was a pupil at Peckham Road until 1957 and remember Pricilla [now janet] salisbury and came across her from a distance when she worked at Birmingham County Court and later married a senior clerk from there. I don’t remember the Rumbold family from Peckham but was your sister Margaret Rumbold who worked at Moores sweetshop on the Circle at Kingstanding. She later went to work on the buses. There was another sister who worked at that shop and she was mad keen on the movies and had all the Hollywood movie annuals. Margaret was very nice and babysat me as a kid. If they are your relations and you read this would like to know if she is still with us and if she is keeping well.
