St Nicholas, Farnborough
Daughter church of St Giles the Abbot, Farnborough (see Image), built to serve the housing in the area that had been developed pre and post war. Work started in December 1957 and it was opened in June 1958. The structure was a prefabricated building from Rema Ltd of Salisbury. Initially known as the "New Church Hall", it was not named as St Nicholas's until 1967, to mark the 10th anniversary of the commencement of construction. The name was chosen partly because of St Nicholas's association with children, who made up a large proportion of the users of the building at the time, and also because St Nicholas's Day, 6 December, fell very close to the actual anniversary, 8 December!

The Federation of Tubbenden Schools
Originally opened as Tubbenden Primary School in 1957, an increase in numbers led to a separation into two schools in 1963, one for Juniors and the other for Infants, with separate buildings on the same site. In 2004, events turned almost full circle, with a decision taken by the two schools to work more closely in a partnership known as a Federation. This photo shows the Tubbenden Lane entrance to the schools.
Post script:
In September 2009, the two schools once again merged to form a single Primary School. On 1 March 2012 the school became an Academy.
