Built in 1895, this was the home of High Pavement Grammar School for Boys and later of Forest Fields, a co-educational grammar school. After years of neglect, the building was refurbished in 2013 as the new home of Forest Fields Primary School. Stanley Road - cobbled when I was at FFGS from 1959-66 - is now a landscaped playground.
