This photograph has been sent to us by email. It shows the whole school and grounds with outbuildings, and was taken on 25th May 1985. At the back of the playground the outside toilet block was still standing.

College street was still a two-way street for traffic, and Cave's/Eaton's factory is still standing (bottom of picture). The roof in the left hand bottom corner is the Post Office.

The land to the right is now a grassed area and the playground areas are combined.
