Pictures from Jeff Jeffrey (via Alan Morrin)
This picture was in fact salvaged from the wreckage of
Jeff's family's house in Norroy Road, Putney, when it was destroyed by a V1 bomb
in 1944.
It went with him when he emigrated to Australia in 1957.
Jeff adds: Mr. Hill (a nice gentle man, taught English Lit) is
not in this photo. He always wore a cap - even in class - because he had a habit
of stroking his hair and it
was starting to fall out (that should make him easy to identify in other
photos). Also not in the photo were Mr. Owen (Science) and Mr. Hughes
(Woodwork).
These latter shared a separate building along the north side - a science lab and
a woodwork shop back to back.
There were three single-storey buildings in the old school. The building nearest
to Wandsworth contained forms 1, 2, 3 and 5 of the boys' school. The centre
building
was 4th form boys, the art room, a science lab, gymnasium and a girls' form. The
third building (nearest Wimbledon) contained the rest of the girls forms.
The photo was taken in the playground between the first and second buildings -
the back of the first building is behind the group.
