Valley Gardens at Marske-by-the-Sea, looking towards the bandstand, from a postcard by J. F. Lawrence. Can any of our viewers remember the concerts? Paula Dorrell (nee Robinson) advises: “Wow! So pleased to find this picture of Valley Gardens in Marske. In the right hand corner there is an old barn. Hard to believe now, but in the 1950s this, for a time, was a school. One large room with a stove in the centre which divided the two classes. One had a music lesson we all had a music lesson.
No playground. We were sent to run around the Valley Garden to get warm before returning to the Barn to drink our milk which had been stood around the stove to defrost. Guess there must have been some warm days but don’t actually remember any. Anyone else have memories?”
