Well. What a morning I've had. Watched the video of the hospital burning down. I thought news readers only spoke like that during the war years. The building that replaced that was knocked down last year and the derelict ground is behind boarding. I know this as I've downloaded a street map dated 1938 and overlayed it on google maps.
When this part of Broomhill Road was rebuilt in 1998 they moved the road also, from running parallel with college road to more curved. The house at the very top of Broomhill road. Junct Weycrof. Although extended is one of the origional 1930's houses, so from that reference point can now say where im sitting in the lounge would of once been a rear garden backing on to the school. The 1938 map does show more school buildings there then than is now. (The cinema is clearly marked on it too)
What a morning I've had.
Thank you all for your imput.
Mr B.
