We seem to be without a current website to attract the attention of former pupils of either of the two Schools. (original opening notice on the single page site)!
For that reason this Site was opened 8th July 1998.
Now reached 11 years of providing information!
This is an "un-official" site designed to link up those
who have passed through the Askes Schools at New Cross,
including those who were evacuated to Oxted and /or Teignmouth.
In the case of the girls Brighton and/or Teignmouth!

For the benefit of those viewing the site,I have put in a page
Askeans which
has the years of schooling of those on my mailing list.It also has a sub-set of pages with
more information on School activities
and the fate of its pupils.
![]()
It is possible that some of the readers are actually from our cousins north of the
Thames.For reference their old boys are called the "Old Haberdashers
Association"
That School has excellent sites at:
http://www.habsgirls.org.uk
Past pupils refer on their C.V's to their schooling at" Haberdashers
Askes",without indicating that they were educated North of the River,which has caused
some confusion in the various search engines!

No one is paid for the work on maintaining the site! The owner is now 77 and at some time
the site will disappear. It might go even sooner if we have any more unfriendly comments.
