  1. I attended this school in 1938 as a five year old boy. Can anybody tell me some of its history.ie What has happened to the school ? I lived at the then Holt in Harbledown now crossed I think by the London Road and is therefore no more ! I emmigrated to Canada in 1951. Please reply. Peter Goddard

  2. I came to Canterbury in 1971 as a Registar in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Kent and Canterbury Hospital.i remember a double fronted Victorian building with signpost in the porch of St.Bedes.The house was between a row of terraced houses and Twymans agri business on Old Dover Road next to the Police Station.St Bedes was demolished and Health Centre was built and still exists.
