SU1483 : The woodwork room

taken 21 years ago, near to Swindon, England

The woodwork room
The woodwork room
The wooden buildings at one end of Commonweal School once comprised 2 or 3 classrooms and the woodwork room, which is the gable ended building here. Some 60 years ago [and more] those pupils of the former Grammar School who were considered not good enough for Latin classes [including this contributor] were sent out here to make things out of wood, not all creations being works of art. To the left, at a corner of the main building, were the boys changing rooms and showers, where the water varied wildly between boiling hot and freezing cold.
