Downer Crest

Greetings

Welcome to this collection of pupil-submitted memorabilia from Downer Grammar School, Edgware, UK.

For past pupils, this site is intended to offer a nostalgic refuge from the relentless tribulations confronting us in our dotage.

Activities during 1965

Anne Taylor (entered DGS in ’61) shares recollections from her school trip to Scheveningen and also to Italy ’65 (and her photographs).  They have spurred Diane Head, née Walker (Anne’s classmate), to share some of her photos from 1965 too, and additionally, to draft a summary of her life before, during and after DGS.
This site's hosting service (Fast2host) reports (Nov. 2024) that about 400 pages (not incl. 'pdf's nor image files) are accessed from it each month.  This page gets about 2 hits/day and the ‘Photos’ and ‘Staff’ pages each get about 1.7.  (If a visitor views any particular page several times within any rolling, 72-hour period, it's only logged once.)

The Chandos and Blackwell School sites attract a similar amount of traffic.

Summer traffic is about ¾ of that in winter.

Long Photos - Names Amendments

Christine Reyland and Patricia née Lynch (1967-73) have suggested some corrections to the ’69 'names' diagram and offered a raft of new names.  Thank you, ladies.
