Hi, I've just found this thread. Yes there was a nursery in the Rec, I went to it. I can remember little canvas beds that we slept on. Could have been around 1948/49. I also sang in St Edmund's church choir for many years probably 1957/1960. Eventually became head boy. I sang solos at weddings...

You could both be right, Well done! I left Formans Rd in 1962 so the old grey stuff is getting a bit thin these days. Morley may well have been the previous occupier and the sister's didn't change the window. I didn't think to look on Google Earth.
