Original site of Alexandra CP School

Taken in 1997 during the construction of the new A50 trunk road, this photo shows the derelict site formerly occupied by the original Alexandra County Primary school. This was demolished in about 1995 when a replacement school had opened nearby in Meir Road. The tarmaced area was the playground with prefab classrooms occupying the foreground area. The main school building stood where the pile of bricks is. To the left is the Royal Mail delivery depot. At the present time (2012) this site is still derelict but much more overgrown than in this photo. See also the photo of the school during demolition.
