I’m hoping that Chandler’s Ford Today readers might be able to identify the location and some of the children in this photograph. Maybe its Sherborne House School. My mother, Joyce MacNoe is top centre, and my aunt, Jane Goater, is third up on the right. All these children would have been born in the 1930s.
It’s such a nice photo, and the faces so clear, that I thought any of those pictured, or their families, if still living locally, would like to see it.

Bottom right hand corner is my long deceased sister Heather . I reckon the date must be round about 1937-8.
I too attended Sherborne House during the mid 1940’s but not for that long – my rather tough naval officer father of decidedly different upbringing in the Western Isles decided it was rather too soft and promptly sent me to King’s Road. Looking back a very good school indeed and I can even remember the headmistress a Miss Golding who used to cane people！Then there was a Miss Ayling, a Mrs. Holloway and a rather curvaceous Mrs. Adam whose husband worked for The Echo. We mixed our own ink and were issued new steel nibs one a month. We also used slates extensively.
At Sherborne House the headmistress was Mrs. Wise assisted by Miss Dyson and a Miss Bowes- a tough lady! I knew a Barry Goater there as well as Richard Jenkins. Goaters Estate Agents.Also Roger Candler (Candlers the Esso Gas Station and garage. He worked with HK Government for many years.
Graham MacLean
That’s great info Graham, and I hope not too sadly poignant for you. Many thanks. The Barry Goater must have been my Dad – still extant in Hiltingbury Road. One of those Sherborne House ladies lived to beyond 100 and my Dad, at the age of late 70s or early 80s, met her at a reunion at the school.
