Bosco House
Originally named The Lees, the house was taken over by The Salesians of Don Bosco as accommodation for the priests who ran the adjacent Thornleigh College Grammar School and was renamed Bosco House. The building is now converted into apartments. The building is Grade 2 listed. The Salesian Order is named for St. Francis of Sales who was Don (St. John) Bosco's inspiration when he founded the order to educate children.

School playing field and school buildings
The "first eleven" football pitch at Thornleigh College (or it was in my day). Sadly I never got to play on it. The building in the background was where some of the school teachers (RC priests) lived. The empty pop bottle in the foreground is de riguer these days.

Now a macadamed road leading past some gentrified pre-war houses to Raveden Wood, in the 1950s, this was a rutted and mostly muddy farm track. Thornleigh Salesian College - a secondary school - grounds are over the brick wall on the left.
