Paulyboy46.........Unfortunately, I do not have any photos of the old school , but I can assure you that you weren't dreaming about going there. I too was at the school from about 1952 to 1959. Can remember having a little brown card with my name on tied around my neck on the first day.  Have great memories of the school. Roaring open fires in the winter with all the milk crates stacked up in front to warm the little milk bottles up. Big high ceiling rooms with windows right up high that you couldn't see out of.  Rows of wooden topped desks with iron frames and inkwells that the inkwell monitor had to come round and fill up. I still have my report for 1955 - 1956. My class teacher was Mrs Weeks and the headmistress was Mrs Restall. I still remember seeing her dishing out the cane on the hands of various miscreants in her office at the top of the stairs!

Hi there is a lovely man called Steve G who has lots of photos of Portsmouth Hampshire. If you go to Family history documents and artifacts then to unwanted FH documents and artifacts and then to the post Portsmouth Hampshire and ask if he has any. I just got lovely photos of Portsmouth. Good luck!

Hi Paul. I know time has moved on since your enquiry but some photos have become available since and all bar one held by the Portsmouth Record Office.

Does anyone have a photo of Church Street School in Portsmouth?  I have been trying for months to obtain one and I'm getting to the stage where I think I must have imagined I went there! It was demolished about 20 years ago and replaced with a new school called Charles Dickens. It was on the corner of Church Street and Hertford Street in Landport.  I attended in the early 1950's.
I have tried the local museum and library as well as Charles Dickens School, unfortunately to no avail .
