View from Flood Lane of demolition of Mountjoy School for special needs children which moved to Beaminster at the end of October, looking towards the Crown roundabout on the A35. Behind the school is Sidney Gale House which is a nursing home run by the council. It is rumoured that plans are afoot to build a motel on the school site, though an extension/modernisation of the nursing home would be preferred by many.
