Hi again - there were about 5 HORSA huts in a line between the playgrounds and quarry - Concrete block walls, steel windows, pitched asbestos roofs - 2 classrooms in each with connecting toilets / storerooms. They catered for music, woodwork, standard classrooms etc. Above those bordering the girls' playground were 2 or 3 timber huts with pitched felt roofs - 1 an art room (steps up to the entrance), one was the kitchen and one kitted out as a science lab - benches, gas/water/sinks etc. That was Mr Lawton's domain - good teacher - showed how interesting science could be! One example as 11/12 year olds we each made our own thermometer - actually blowing glass with a capillary core to form the 'bulb' - used red dyed water of course rather than mercury!! Perhaps these old huts were domolished soon after I left to go to another school in July, 63? Re the Rose family - yep it's that family I remember but also remember some classmates I think lived on Heather Road - David Green rings a bell - was there also a kid called Grayson [Gaydon] - lived opposite the top shop of the 2 on Heather Rd - was 1 called Taylors? The top one may have been run by a Scottish family - Mc .......?? Pretty sure I remember a Roe family as well though - there were Constables, Albert Charlesworth, Woods, Wilkinsons, Widdowsons etc etc. Hope some of these ex-pupils and others get in touch?:)
