<p>A group of girls dressed in compulsory playtime dungarees, standing by the field where we spent many hours playing, making dens and exploring. We even formed a skiffle band with an old washboard and packing case. </p>
<p>On one occasion we went exploring up the stream which ran through the property. It was strictly out of bounds, for good reason, as a huge boulder crushed my foot and I was laid up for weeks. That didn't mean we escaped punishment, probably endless lines.</p>

Helen & Beryl - 'Cooks with Police Helmets'

TAGS

Domestic staff

We understand Helen started to work in the DWS kitchens aged 17. Coming originally from Caernarfon she lived in 'San', a tin roofed building by the school bridge. In a very real sense, she was also a boarder and the same age or younger than some of the pupils. She recalls very happy times at DWS. Helen had no idea what we used to call some of the dishes prepared in the kitchen and laughed when she discovered the Glossary on this website.Helen does remember the bucket in this picture was full of water!
