The junior school block. Through the arched gateway and to the left was a flight of steps to the first floor of the school. One, or both of those windows with the panelling beneath, used to be doorways into the school. The steps were not a straight flight, but returned in the opposite direction. The first section had a half landing. This link shows the steps http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a303/escafeld01/WESTERNROADJUNIORSCHOOL.jpg I don’t recall any shelter or canopy to the doorway. The school is now Westways. A tree has been felled outside the gate.
