Stanley Road: former schools
Stanley Road: former schools
The building in the left foreground, on the corner of Gladstone Street and Stanley Road, now a community centre, was once Stanley Road Primary School. The grander building beyond was originally High Pavement Boys' Grammar School and later Forest Fields Grammar School. Towards the end of my time as a Forestian (1959-66), the primary school building became part of FFGS, and the base for the arts sixth. The asphalt playground between the two buildings was at that time the site of viciously-contested lunchtime football matches.
