I think the teacher was Mrs.Marsh,when I started at St.Nats infants there was Miss Hindley,Miss Dean,Mrs.Marsh,and the tyrant that was Mrs.Molyneux,she used to put the fear of God into every one who crossed her path,it was one of the happiest days of my life when I left the infants and went to St.Nats secondary school,the Headmaster there was Harry Hurst he was a gentleman everybody liked him,he lived in Victoria Rd. sometimes I used to see him in Polly Allens.

Who was the teacher who used to crack us across the knuckles with her ruler?
