Old Birmingham Schools - Changed Or Demolished

My God! Somebody must have made a pretty penny building all the new schools to replace the old (but not in the same areas of course).

Here are a few more:-
Elkington Street Infant/Junior? School, Aston.
St. Mary's Infant and Junior School, Whitehouse Street/Avenue Road, Aston. My old school between 1949 and 1955.
Nechells Park Secondary Modern (Mixed), Charles Arthur Street, Nechells (to give it its proper name - apologies Derek). Usually lovingly referred to as Charlie Arthur Street. My old school between 1955 and 1959.
Not forgetting
BRITISH SCHOOL OF MOTORING DRIVING SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry! I couldn't resist it.
