This is, I know, a dull picture probably only of interest to me and others who went to Forest Fields Grammar School http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1370280 in the fifties and sixties. This was our playing field, reached for games afternoons on foot, bike or 43 trolleybus to David Lane. The changing rooms (vaguely visible in the middle of the middle distance), over which a rugby-crazed sadist of a PE teacher presided, are shown more clearly in another Geograph image http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/949740 . The River Leen is in the foreground, and the Highbury Vale tram stop behind the camera.
