The story continues from last month – http://www.oldbordenians.co.uk/?p=146#more-146 for those who hadn’t spotted it was further down the home page!

I have tried to take contemporary photographs but much of the school field has been built on to provide private housing taking up the whole corner of the plot bounded by the original road up to the school, Riddles Road and College Road.
