Barbara Sinclair (Nee Shelton) - England
At the outset of the Second World War I had reached the age of 6 1/2 years and my family lived on Park Street Lenton.
During the war I remember going to Lenton Primary School and if there was an air raid because there was not enough shelters at the school some of us used to have to run home and I was one of them.
During one of these raids I was on my way home with shrapnel from the anti-aircraft guns falling down around me when a bomb landed on the church but did not explode and another landed where Clements Piano warehouse was. It was believed the Germans were after the Ordnance factory or the Power Station.
Other memories of the war were of the rationing in particular the sweets ration, my mother used to only get our sweet ration once a month, and during this time when we had the sweet we would gain extra friends!
Another memory of the war was the National Food Restaurant in the church hall on Church Street, where I used to go and get two puddings instead of school dinners. This was not supposed to be allowed as you were only supposed to get one but we somehow got around the rules.

I'm trying to find out what became of Mr. Cook of Lenton Junior School. He was there in the mid 1950s.
Let us know your memories of Lenton Junior School
