When I started here in 1953, we infants were housed in the single-storey building on the right. As juniors we moved to the taller building fronting Berridge Road. (As I stood to take this picture I wasn't thinking of the beautiful Bank Holiday weather but of how, on 6 November each year, Brushfield Street was full of the still-smoking remains of the previous night's bonfires - often including sofas - and fireworks. That was in the olden days, of course, when the biggest and loudest Standard bangers cost 6d.)
