The 'Back Drive' - now a one way street.
Some improvement in looks here - the bicycle shed and staff garages are no more.
School House
, the renovated study block, has now gone and the space has been assimilated by the Junior School.
A ghost of the bicycle shed still seems to be visible! A new entrance has also been made through the old prefects' common room window, with stairs inside to the floor above.
Park House - observant types may spot that the draughty louvre windows have gone, as have the swimming pool's solar heating panels (
Medill's Folly?
). An extension was also added to the left in 1980. There are also additional hard tennis courts in the park to the left.
The path leading to the right, possibly following a route well trodden by earlier generations of sixth-form smokers(!), leads to some tennis courts.
A sculpture by, if I recall correctly, Nick Hance (1966-73), having been in several locations, now seems to be resident in front of Park House. The trousers are apparently fashionable again!
The terraces and lawns around the college are still immaculate. The cricket nets seem to be flimsier than they were.
