Rlass (who is never wrong) says the shop was lower down on the opposite side of the road, below Audrey Rd. However Kirky there is a difference in ages between you and her ladyship, so maybe it could have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirky Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Originally posted by Fareast Kirky Thanks for the photographs----very interesting , but sad too. I went to the school from '46 to '49 and we lived on Audrey Road , so it brought back a lot of old memories. By the way , have you any idea why they had to rebuild it ? Is it to do with the building material they used ? A lot of schools built in Victorian-Edwardian times are still going strong. not sure why they are doing it most probably wear n tear,manor lane as just been done and st.odswalds is also being modernised.

Guest bostonaire Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 yes my school took us to meet mr lions for swimming lessons then after a few lessons, our thoughtful teachers realising his bullying nature took us all elsewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
