School Door - for Boys
Image: © John Sutton Taken: 11 Oct 2006
Built by the Nottingham School Board in 1895 for High Pavement Higher Grade (later Grammar) School, the building on Stanley Road became the home of Forest Fields Grammar School on its foundation in 1956, to cater for the post-war bulge. In my day (1959-66) the doors were a dignified municipal green. There was a corresponding door for Girls at the north end of the building, but by the enlightened 1950s these entrances were mixed - though as there were still separate playgrounds for boys and girls enlightenment still had some way to go. (Image] shows the doorway after the building was renovated in 2013-14.)
