I have just come across the article by Martin Buss regarding his memories of the old Junior School on the south side of Eastern Road. He asks what became of the handbell that used to be rung. As far as I know it was still in use in the "next generation" Junior School in the old Convent of the Blessed Sacrament in Walpole Road up until the time my father retired from teaching in the early 1980's.

However, I do have another bell that used to hang in the corridor of the old Junior School, as well as a diamond-shaped piece of glass from the old leaded-light front door, as well as the brass door handle, all obtained by my father when the school moved. I also have some photographs that show parts of the exterior of the building, but not all of it.

A retired Russian frogman claimed that he cut the British diver's throat in Portsmouth harbour when he caught him placing a mine on the hull of a ship that had brought Nikita Khrushchev and other Soviet leaders to Britain in April 1956.
