A red brick Victorian Children’s Home that was run in Victorian times by my Great grandmother and Great grandfather. They were known as the Master and Mistress by the orphans there. This was in London.

It was a large expensive house with manicured gardens we were not allowed to walk on. My junior school was an old castle at the top of a hill, so nothing.

The other side of the road.

A woodland. My primary school was on a village lane.

Juniors - a park
Seniors- a pub

Jaxjacky Fri 31-Jul-26 18:48:03

Infants, juniors or seniors?

The church that the primary school was linked to

How big a picture is the OP building of us in various forms?
And why?🤔

The District Hospital. I remember being booked in to have my tonsils removed aged 7. My mother came to pick me up around lunch time to take me across . Whilst in the waiting room we were told the operation was to be cancelled until the following week. My mum said "I can drop you back at school" me "Noooo! we're going to be tested on the Catechism this afternoon, pre Holy Communion, take me home pleeeese!" I managed to get round her, thank God!

This is quite a strange question to ask when you think about it.

ginny Fri 31-Jul-26 19:37:35

I agree. Shower nobody has to give an answer if they don’t want to.

ginny Fri 31-Jul-26 19:38:00

Shower =. However

Juniors, a street with terrace houses and a much loved sweet shop

Secondary. A lane of posh houses and further up a new primary school

rubysong Fri 31-Jul-26 19:42:19

The school was on a corner with the Church across the road on one side and on the other side a row of cottages where in later years my brother lived for a time.

PaperMonster2 Fri 31-Jul-26 20:34:00

My primary school was accessed via the grounds of the secondary so not really opposite anything. Secondaries (2) opposite houses.

Just wondering why the OP is asking all these questions? Call me cynical, but...
