IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Blenheim Road, CLACTON-ON-SEA, CO15 1DN

This is the longer of the two public footpaths from Blenheim Road to Park Road, looking towards Park Road.

Taken, I think, on the south or south-east side of the school. The demountables are no longer there (I looked on Google Street View purely to add context to the picture). The trees in the photograph include a silver birch. I took this picture as part of a photography exercise as a ten-year-old pupil, prompted by a staff member whom I recall with fondness.

A eucalyptus tree photographed in the school grounds. I took the picture as a ten-year-old pupil as part of a photography exercise.

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.

This photograph shows demountable classrooms to the north-east of the school, behind one of several willows in the grounds. The playground lay beyond. Both the demountables and the willow have since been removed (I looked on Google Street View to add context to the picture). Taken as part of a photography exercise as a ten-year-old pupil; I remember the staff member responsible with great fondness. I was educated in this group of demountable classrooms from eight to ten years old (1993-5) and remember them as comfortable, well-lit, warm, and dry apart from the occasional roof leak which did not bother us children. After going up the wooden exterior steps visible in the picture you would enter a cloakroom which led through a door into the classroom. This was rectangular, with large windows, strip lighting for winter or overcast days and a sink and roller towel in one corner. A blackboard with chalk or whiteboard on which the teacher would write with marker pens was on one wall (blackboards were just beginning to be replaced at the time). I noticed when scanning the picture that there is a child (now long since grown) visible at the left hand side.

Many of the streets round here have a Royal theme.
