Schools I attended

Mansel Infants and Mansel Juniors

The first school I went to was Mansel Infants followed by Mansel Juniors. The schools were not far from my home in Millbrook Southampton.

 Below a Google map of the area showing the schools near The Saints Pub.

 I remember Millbrook Towers, top of Mansel Park, being built and something about it being the tallest residential tower block at 25 floors. However, I don't recall if it was the tallest in Millbrook, or Southampton, or Hampshire, or even England. The sound of the external tower crane jib collapsing on to the vertical frame, was horrendously loud. would the rest come down with it? Fortunately it did not. The rest of the work was completed with the central core tower crane only. That crane had to be lifted out at the end with a very large and powerful helicopter which had to come down specially from Scotland.

I do recall some children at the schools, like the twins, but not any names, nor any of the teachers names.

The playground, the hard surface one, I also recall spending time in.
