Finings Court, The Maltings, LEAMINGTON SPA, CV32 5FG

The Brewery Manager's premises for the old Lucas, Blackwell and Arkwright brewery on Lillington Avenue, now converted into private housing.

Homewood is a Methodist retirement home on Kenilworth Road. This view is looking NW near the traffic light junction with Lillington Avenue. This area of Leamington Spa used to be occupied by large numbers of "Old People's Homes" to use the term at the time. Modern regulations and rising costs have seen many close and undergo conversion to flats.

Off College Drive, an estate built on part of the Binswood playing fields.

This building has been boarded up since 2011 -see Nigel Mykura's photo Image Developers McCarthy and Stone did have plans to redevelop the site for retirement apartments, but their planning application was refused. Recently it has been announced that there are plans to use the site as an extension to the adjacent Audley Binswood retirement development.

Looking across the site where the science laboratories were situated, towards the old school gymnasium. The various listed old school buildings are in the process of being refurbished and incorporated into a retirement village. http://www.audleyretirement.co.uk/villages/binswood-hall-retirement-village I attended Leamington College from 1967 to 1974.

By now closed and used as a council storage depot however the name can still be seen in the stonework at the top of the main building. Compare with Image

The converted maltings and, just visible on the right, Manager's house of the old Leamington Brewery. Compare with Image taken from the same spot.

This is part of the new gymnasium that has been included in the retirement village built on the site of the former Leamington College for Boys. http://www.audleyretirement.co.uk/villages/binswood-hall-retirement-village When it was a school, this was the library, and before that a chapel. I attended the school from 1967 to 1974.

Part of the retirement village built in and around the listed parts of what was Leamington College for Boys. http://www.audleyretirement.co.uk/villages/binswood-hall-retirement-village In the foreground was the old school playground, a bare, tarmacked area. The block to the right was the classrooms for the boys in the first four years, year one at the top and year four at the bottom, with woodwork and metalwork in the basement. The large top window on the left was the Geography room, the one below it being part of the main corridor that ran the length of the building. I attended the college from 1967 to 1974.
