I would guess it was towards the end of my time at school, possibly early 1964.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884877200763768917.post-54323706275753261712008-03-28T01:48:00.000+01:002008-03-28T01:48:00.000+01:00We used to escape down that fire escape for midnig...We used to escape down that fire escape for midnight swims!Julian Williams 1962 - 1968https://www.blogger.com/profile/01882177565299076369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884877200763768917.post-15015742233988824042007-11-12T15:54:00.000+01:002007-11-12T15:54:00.000+01:00The school stopped using the door in the photograp...The school stopped using the door in the photograph, as it caused terrific draughts, but iut had some way of being undone for use as an emergency exit.<BR/>The bell was moved to the door where the new wing was connected to the short passageway to two classsroms (in my time 4A and 5B) The bell was rung for chapel and between each lesson. The duty master used to send a boy out of which ever class he was in to ring it when it was time.<BR/>In the long corridor there was the staff room on the left down a couple of steps, then nothing, then the changingrooms, beyond whichj were the doorless bogs. Up a step then the dining room on the right was Tavern and the room on the left was where the washing up was done and the crockery stored etc, next to that and up some steps was the pantry where the bread, jam, and the buns for "milk & buns" etc were kept, off which was a small dining room used by the kitchen staff. At the end to the right of the Tuckshop was the kitchen, then a stone set of steps leading up to the higher level.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
