  • Last but one picture. I’m certain that this is George street school. I walked past this everyday on my way to school. This is the back of the school as seen from Queensway. As a previous contributer has noted it is looking from the junction of Queensway and Adeyfield Road. The main entrance was on George street which ran parallel with Queensway.

  • The one that looks like a church about to be demolished is part of the old George Street School … it was demolished in the early 1980s …you can see the school that is there today behind on the right …. this was facing the school from Queensway.

  • I believe this is the old Queen st school, which stood opposite junction with Lower Adeyfield rd and Queen st. I was a pupil there late 40s.

  • The last but one picture – where a church is suggested – is typical of the mid-Victorian schools – and the date 1878 fits – probably of a smaller village, Try checking Kelly’s Directory for 1880s for a village with a new schoool in that year. Last picture: Could this be one of the relocated Gadebridge Camp military huts from WW1 – Only one I know which is still standing (but fate being currently considered) is the one at New Mill, Tring.
