Stanley Road: a visit to their old school

Image: © John Sutton Taken: 9 Feb 2015

An old boy of High Pavement Grammar School takes a picture of the entrance he went through every school day of his life sixty years before. See Image] for his view. In grammar-school days the gabled building in the background was known as T Block. Like the infant school to the left and the main building to the right, it is part of the enlarged primary school. Forest Fields Primary is the fourth school – after High Pavement and Forest Fields Grammar Schools and Claremont Secondary – to occupy the Grade II listed building on Stanley Road, which was refurbished at a cost of £6.5m in 2013-14. This picture was taken during a tour of the building by Old Paviors (and two Old Forestians), some of whose memories of the school dated back to the late 1930s. Image] shows the building in 2003. Image] and Image] show building work in progress in 2013. For the Grade II listing, see http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-458870-clarendon-college-berridge-centre- .
