A workshop and cottage, nearly opposite the entrance to the school, were demolished in the 1930s to provide access to an orchard at the rear. Before the Second World War one of the buildings left standing on the site was used for a Lads’ Club. By the 1960s the whole space was occupied by a line of bungalows perpendicular to the road.
