Joanna Lumley – St Mary’s Convent School The Ridge Hastings in 1959

Write up: Michael Pilgrim

Claire Kelly-Triance… Remember the convent school the ridge the nuns the bell . It was nothing like it is now . Big old mansions now burnt or demolished no hospital just farmland . No cars it was quaint and interesting to a young girl from London.

Fred Marsh… My Dad worked there as maintenance man during the 70s ,I had the run of the place ,I loved it can’t drive passed it now without thinking of those happy days.

Richard J Porter… My wife was there with Joanne, Barbara Flynn (Murray in those days) and others. There were many of today’s names that went to school in Hastings.

Sheila Maile… She is still a good looking woman

Lloyd Johnson… I lived off the ridge in Clifton Road.
