This is the end of the Hall Building, the little hatch/door on the left, as I remember was the used for dropping the Coal/Coke, for the boiler, also the head in the upper window

you are right about the hatch/door, we used to spend hours shoveling coal down the cellar for the care taker Billy Andrews and in return he used to let us play in the gym during the holidays, great times,

Steve as I believe the Prefabs was condemned before 1969, have film of them might be in 1999, shortly after they disappeared Dave

Miriam Unable to remember, I was around 10 then some of our houses in Cotman Close backed onto to Catermole Grove, and at times cut through the gardens which were joined Dave
if I may, Miriam, will pass them on to a person who might remember, and still lives on the Pheasey Dave
 
Miriam I have looked through both photo's to see if my late cousin Arther was on as he would have been about twelve when they were taken. He lived in Leyton close then Hillingfor when he got married. Jean.
