Colin Blythe
Blythe was born at 78, Evelyn Street, Deptford. His parents were called Walter and Elizabeth (née Dready). Walter Blythe was an engineering fitter at the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich. Blythe was the eldest of 13 children, seven boys and six girls, who were born between 1879 and 1902; twelve of them survived infancy. The family moved house four times while he was young but all their homes were within the same close vicinity. Blythe attended Duke Street Infants School until he was seven and then Alverton Street School until April 1892 when he was nearly thirteen. Thirteen was then the statutory minimum age for leaving school and, with the growing family needing an extra breadwinner, he joined his father at the Arsenal as an apprentice fitter and turner. He began studying for a Whitworth Scholarship in mechanical engineering but suffered a breakdown in his health with the onset of epilepsy. He was forced to discontinue his studying.
