I would like to thank Dee White, for sending these wonderful old postcards of Widdington
Dee, writes, on going through a load of old photos of my Aunt Dot, I came across some pictures of Widdington. She lived at Wyses Farm, in the 1920s and I’m pretty sure Aunt Dot taught either in Widdington or Newport Village School, the photos are dated 1923/1924. And the postmarks on the postcards are 1926
She trained at Goldsmiths College in London and was "at school" until she retired. She was a great traveller including a visit to Fez and Tangiers in 1937 with a girlfriend - quite brave for two single ladies.
