I attended Caldecot school from late 1945 until My dad uprooted us and we emigrated to Australia as "10 pound poms" in May of 1948. The posted photo looks like the old school. The "playground" in front of the school was asphalt and sloped down to the wall where there was a water trough with lead! cups hanging above it.
In winter the playground iced over and we used to slide down it on our backsides, much to Mums horror. The resulting patches only added to others honorably gained.
I have no photos, only memories.
I have not been back to UK since 1948 but I am returning next spring [2011] to try and refresh a few old memories.
I would love to hear from others
