Blackman

Alan Blackman sitting on the 'school chair'. His Headmistress during his early schooling, 1946 – 51, was the stern and somewhat miserable Mrs Gwendoline Hayes; she did manage to cheer and clap however when the Conservatives came to power in 1951. Of the Assistant Teachers, Alan remembers Miss Hastie, who often rapped childrens’ knuckles with the edge of her ruler, and Mrs Paul, who, although well-liked, shared Mrs Hayes’ nasty habit of blowing her nose then tucking the hanky up her knicker-leg.

In 2012, at East Meon Church of England Primary School, Marley Blackman researched the history of his family. These are his notes and the photographs he found. A display panel was created for the History Open Day, and a PDF is attached to this page. The wedding photo of Harry Blackman and Edith Legg was not part of Marley's research. A letter to Meon Matters, published at some point in the early 2000s, is attached as a PDF. Terry Chapman had enclosed a picture of his mother, who was a Blackman.
