David Edwardes – The Ryleys in the 1950s & 60s!
In our second edition of 'Time Travel Tuesday', we are thrilled to introduce David Edwardes. Mr Edwardes was a pupil at The Ryleys School in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
We welcomed Mr Edwardes into the school last week and were fascinated to hear stories of his time at the school and his varied career since.
Thank you for sharing your ‘what happened next’ story.
