I used to attend Holmesdale School in Holmesdale Road. I lived in Warren Road which runs down to what we called 'Spurgeons'. In about 1948 our school was scheduled to be redecorated. It was decided to minimise disruption to the school that our class would be relocated for the period of the redecoration to the sports pavilion shown in this photograph. I remember it was rather cold and each day we had to walk from school to this pavilion and back.
