My brother Tim and I are looking to find out any history of our Dad when he attended Babington House in the 1930’s.
He was born John Anthony Bertioli (known as Tony) in 1928 and we believe he may have attended Babington House, when it was in Eltham, possibly from 1935……
The photo of the three boys is Dad, centre, with his two friends the Brodie twins (Stuart and Ian) taken when we think they are about 7. Dad at that time lived in Eltham.
Does anyone remember them or have any photographs of that period? Maybe you, your father or grandfather went to the school at that time? Or your mother/grandmother (it was co-ed) He lived in Mottingham Lane before his father built a house in The Meadow in Chislehurst. His parents were Vi and Cecil Bertioli…….
The second photo is a cricket team in 1939, Dad is back row, far left…. Does anyone recognise the team? Is it a school team or local Eltham/Chislehurst/Mottingham team? Were you in that team or recognise any of the faces?
