I'm told by Philip Pankhurst, and old maps confirm, this, built at the end of the 19th century, was the original Borden Grammar School. It became the Kent Farm Institute when the school moved to its current premises in Central Avenue (Image) in the 1920s. It later became a teacher training college. In recent years part of the playing fields have been sold off for building development (houses on right of shot) and the fencing round the old tennis courts has been removed.
