The former Western Road Secondary Modern School, Crookes
The lower part of the junior school block. This is where group school photographs were taken, with backs towards this railing. Back in the ‘50s when I was at this school there were steps here to the first floor.

The junior school block. Through the arched gateway and to the left was a flight of steps to the first floor of the school. One, or both of those windows with the panelling beneath, used to be doorways into the school. The steps were not a straight flight, but returned in the opposite direction. The first section had a half landing. This link shows the steps http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a303/escafeld01/WESTERNROADJUNIORSCHOOL.jpg I don’t recall any shelter or canopy to the doorway. The school is now Westways.
A tree has been felled outside the gate.

This was the junior school block. As I seem to remember, it was a hall surrounded on three sides by classrooms. My worst recollection is trying to be a ‘tree’, which was during dancing, or P.E.

The junior school block. I once reached these school gates only to be badly bitten by a dog. Someone in school quickly patched me up and so I failed to miss any lessons. Not much has changed since the ‘50s; white railing at the road’s edge, yellow bin, writing on the road, the school sign has been added and all that’s missing are the gas lamps. In the background can be seen the infant’s school.
The school is now known as Westways.
