We were forbidden to take a short cut to school, as it meant passing a factory - again, we wondered why, as the young men from the factory often wandered along in their breaks, to watch us play hockey or rounders. It was the Caretakers job to move them back, from whence they came!

I’m starting this as some of us got chatting on the thread about migrants and we don’t want to hijack that important topic.

I mentioned that at my girls school which backed into open land we had dire warnings, couched in very vague terms about keeping away from the boundaries due to undesirables. In our naivety we didn’t know what that exactly was but enough was said to make us realise something was wrong. There were a few scares from memory.
