Recent History

Our Former Pupils have lived through some significant changes, and recall them in letters and e-mails.

As part of our Holmston Time Machine features, we've collected some pieces from their letters, here.

If you have time to read them, click on the underlined links below. When you're done, press "Next Page" at the side to go on towards the next section.

We've collected extracts on:

• How different things used to be at school
• Social Class
• The Second World War. Everyone expected to be bombed. Some pupils came to Ayr to live. Others had Commandos come to live with them.

• A Letter from the King with a long list of dates.
• The Peace
• Games we used to play

• Cold Winters
• Life in Ayr
• The New School Uniform

• Travel
• and, what children always like to do from time to time, Having a Carry On

No doubt other FPs will be able to tell us more about this and other recent history!
