First High Pavement, then Forest Fields
Image: © John Sutton Taken: 10 Oct 2003
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 (which included me, a Forestian from 1959-66). Forest Fields moved to Carlton Hill some time in the 1970s, became a sixth-form college and is now no more. This is the view down Stanley Road (cobbled in my day) towards Berridge Road.
