ARTHUR MILTON (1928 - 2007) INTERNATIONAL CRICKETER AND FOOTBALLER.

Arthur Milton (1928 – 2007) former Henleaze resident, was the last man of twelve to play cricket AND football for England at international level.

Some of you who are interested in the history of football and/or cricket may have read the book subsequently produced by his great cricketing friend Mike Vockins, Arthur Milton: Last of the Double Internationals published in 2011 by Sports Books Ltd.

Thanks to Joan Milton Veronica Bowerman has now produced a short version of Arthur's many achievements on the webpage People of Henleaze and has included some previously unpublished local information.

Also many thanks to Jane and John who were given this signed photo by Arthur when he was their paperboy in Stoke Bishop after his illustrious sporting career.

1950s - THOSE WERE THE DAYS?

 

We have just received an email from former pupil Colin Whitrow:

I have just brought the e-book, Henleaze Junior School; the Early Years.
https://sites.google.com/site/henleazebook/Home

Looking through I came across the photo of Class 2N.

I'm afraid I do not recognise anybody accept myself, Colin Whitrow, back row 6th from the left. 

Those were the days!!!

The photograph taken 1952 or 1953 - Henleaze Junior School photo showed Class 2N with Teacher, Mr Burgess, left end of back row and Head, Mr Charles, right end of back row.
(The photo was provided by former pupil Derek Wilding who was holding the board in the front row. He believes that the dark haired girl on the left end of the front seated row is Sally Winter.)

Can you name any of the other pupils here?

DO YOU REMEMBER THIS FAMILY IN HENLEAZE?

Does anyone know what happened to Althea/Peta Harrigan (Cole) who was a boarder St Margaret's School, Henleaze in the late 1950s/early 1960s?

She was the only the black girl in the school. She came from Tortola in the British Virgin Isles and had a brother who attended day school at Clifton College at the same time. He stayed in Henleaze with their Uncle. 

Several former pupils who were friends with Peta have tried to trace her, but have drawn a blank. 

She may have continued her education and/or worked in the United States of America?

Can anyone provide any further information on Peta, her brother or her family in Henleaze at that time?
