A memorial of a former school, Grays
Palmers Boys School was once on this site. It appears that these stones were removed from a building at demolition, and are rather misleading to the uninitiated. The school was actually founded in 1706, but not on this site, but down the hill closer to the town centre. The building here at or very close to this precise site was latterly the Science Block, and was Victorian or Edwardian, certainly earlier than 1934. The other school buildings were newer, and the 1934 date presumably refers to the building of one of them. I don't recall where these stones were. The motto 'Monumentum aere perennis' is certainly the school's, but the coat of arms is not, it is that of Essex. So it seems Essex County Council had the school in hand by then, they certainly did after the war. The school arms were those of the founder, William Palmer, and continue to be used by Palmers College.

Footpath from Rectory Road to Whitehall Lane
It is possible that this view is back to front, but I think the fencing and wall on the right are that of the former Palmers School, whose site has been redeveloped for housing. The security fencing on the left would then guard the crest of Globe Pit, which has a sheer drop.

Site of Palmers School, Grays
The wall is original, apart from two bricked up gateways. All of the school site including the two playing fields are now built on. This was the boys school, the girls school was a good way down the road towards Chadwell and has transformed into Palmers College.
