The location of this photograph is the Main Hall (Gadlys End). The double doors, on the left, led to the corridor off which Rooms 2 & 3 were to be found. The door
under one of the pictures opened into a room that over time served several purposes. In the 1960s it was the room of school secretary Jennie Williams.
At various periods the
Main Hall was used as a teaching area, hence the desks (forms) in this photograph.
