I was a depraived child, too. Len

PMSL.....

i was deprived never took us anywhere!!lolxx

oh yes, that was it - the Walls icecream factory

They always took me to this lovely calm place - everyone that worked there wore a white coat.

To London or Alton Towers Hated London how many times do you need to see no10 when you are 12yrs old lol

Another deprived child - local village primary school was a nature ramble down the dales every week, often to the 'frog pond' or the violet wood. Secondary school I had to board, and again it was jolly rambles every weekend, come rain, come shine. Either along the cliff path to the local lighthouse, or to the WW2 defence blocks left on the beach, or along a roman road which went through a wood. Really exciting stuff. Jay

London Zoo Colchester Zoo Colchester Castle Gainsboroughs House in Sudbury Suffolk, home of painter Thomas - we went there a lot. Fitswilliam Museum, Cambridge

Secondry School not one trip anywhere

This takes me back because now I KNOW I was a deprived child. Lol Primary school A bus trip to Gladstone Dock in Liverpool. !00's of nature 'walks' to the nearest woods. Grammar school Coach trip to Beaumaris Castle in Anglesey Senior Year. Train trip down to London for the Ideal Home exhibition...Just for the day.

We went to watch Henry IV part 2 at Stratford ,which was a shame cos the Scottish play was our O level book!

Perhaps because there was a war going on, my grammar school never organised trips whilst I was a student.. len

Hi we all went to Colomendy in north wales .It was great we aso visited Conway And Llandudno not sure if i have spelt the towns correct. Schools still go there today many years later PS Any one else go to these towns and what schools Keith R

I don't think schoold went in so much for trips when I was at school, or if they did, I didn't get to go on them. In the Primary school I went on two, to the Festival of Britain exhibition, and to Windsor (must have gone to the castle but all i remember is a river trip and the fact that my bottle of drink leaked! High school the only trip I went on was to Haringay to see Billy Graham the American Evangelist. Sunday school we used to have an outing every year, always as far as I remember to Lyndhurst in the New forest. Ann Glos
