Hello,

This is my first contact with you. Found this photograph of the Markhouse Road team that won the 1st Division Schools Football Championship in the 1947-48 season. As far as my memory will allow the names are as follows:

Markhouse Road Team

Front row (left to right):
1 - Woods
2 - Moores

Second row (left to right):
1 - Blanks
2 - Stevens (Vice Capt.)
3 - Orchard (Capt.)
4 - Chapman
5 - Tebbs

Third row (left to right):
1 - Mr. Blumson (Sports Master)
2 - Sands
3 - Shakeshaft
4 - Lewis
5 - Wellhams
6 - Cooper
7 - Mr. Easton (Headmaster)

It was a privilege to be captain of this team and I wonder if anyone out there knows if there are any other members of this team still around.

Happy New Year & Regards

Markhouse (Marsh Street) Drama Club (MDC)

The Markhouse Drama Club (MDC) was based at the Mark House Secondary School in Walthamstow, from 1955 to 1977, where it offered the local young people a wide range of performing arts activities and experiences - along with a great deal of friendship and fun!
A new, 'non performing' Markhouse Drama Club, established and ran by its former members, maintains a website hosting a wide range of production, school and re-union memorabilia. The website also contains memorabilia from the performing arts activities that have been run and funded under the auspices of The Cyril Malyon Memorial Fund (CMMF) - a charitable, non-profit voluntary organisation, formed in 2013 in recognition of his leadership of the MDC throughout the above period.
If you were a member of the Markhouse Drama Club, or a pupil at the school during this period, you can find all the above memorabilia, and details of how to make contact with your former friends, on: www.markhousedramaclub.com
The MDC would welcome any photographs, programmes, scripts and other memorabilia from productions, or of the school, for use on the website. Here are some pictures:
