This photograph shows the school grounds looking towards the gates with houses on Alton Park Road beyond, with two magnificent willows to the left of the path. The two sets of white and red metal grilles just discernible behind the trees are the open gates at the entrance to the school property, one entrance for pedestrians, the other for motor traffic. The footpath just behind the brick-walled shrub beds led from the pedestrian gates to the main school entrance. The path clearly visible running to the left of the photograph led to the demountable classrooms shown in geograph Image The willows are no longer there and the area is significantly changed, with a greater number of car parking spaces (I looked on Google Street View for the purpose of providing context to the photograph). Taken as part of a photography exercise as a ten-year-old pupil; I remember the staff member with whom I worked fondly.
