THS Holiday to Sussex in July 1949
Lorna Selby's memories of the school holiday trip to Sussex were
brought back by the photos sent in by Sheila Edmunds on the previous
page. She has added these comments.
Many thanks to Sheila Edmunds (Orr) for great photos - I
recognize lots of contemporaries. Miss Catlin & Miss Stanford look
exactly as I remember them. [see
Sheila's photos]
I was on that school trip to Arundel/Sussex too. It was well
thought out & good fun. I specially recall the trip round the Roman
Villa excavations at Bignor; a day at the sea where we swimmers
cannoned in to shore on an inward-racing tide; and a tour of
Shippams fish & meat paste factory in Chichester, where we were
conducted round the whole production process, up and down metal
stairways. Looking down groggily into the huge pink swirling
vats, I knew I would never eat fish or meat paste again.
I was allowed special time out for two days & my train passed
through Southampton. I noticed, still aloft over the docks, two
barrage balloons, like delicate airborne elephants.
