The Harpur Centre (formerly Bedford Modern School)
The Harpur Centre (formerly Bedford Modern School)
When this was part of the school, the main hall ("Big School") was behind the tall windows to the right of the tower and the smaller ones to their right. Inside, the stage was at the end nearest the tower, and a narrow gallery ran along the far side, with 2 or 3 classrooms opening off it. Below them were 2 classrooms with sliding partitions that could be used as an extension to the hall, and next to them the staff room. There was also a large gallery at the back upstairs, by the smaller windows, with 4 or 5 rows of benches with desktops. Judging by the inscriptions carved in them, they had been there many years. From the corner of the gallery a corridor ran to the library and a room that was the music room in the early 1960's (until music moved to more spacious rooms elsewhere in about 1964). Below the library was the headmaster's office and other offices.
