Alan Trengove sent us this evocative picture. Alan spent his days at the Elliott days evacuated (with the Girls School) to Guildford, because of the war. The picture shows six boys from the Elliott gardening group with the Guildown house gardener (Mr Wells) wheeling his barrow. He says "I can't identify the two boys on the extreme left. The third boy from the left (at the rear) is Frank Turner. I am the fourth boy from the left (in the foreground). I recognise the face of the fifth boy from the left, but can't put a name to him. The sixth boy from the left is Peter Couchman".

He adds "Usually, the boys who had volunteered to be gardeners, walked up the road to an allotment that presumably the school had leased, and scratched the soil around there. However, this picture was taken on a plot of ground adjacent to the large greenhouse."
