Shelley Drive Building : Page 1
In the near future, I hope to have a “virtual tour” set up on the site using the photographs that I and many friends took during tours round the school just prior to it closing at the end of the 2008/09 session. This should allow those who would like a “walk round” the old place. Keep checking back for updates. A link will appear on the left as soon as it is complete. Until this is ready, here are some photographs I have of the site throughout it’s history.
A view taken from Shelley Drive. The “turrets” are clearly visible as mentioned by Lorraine Hamilton on the memories page.
A pre-tower block photograph. The connecting “link corridor” between the buildings used the windows of classrooms on the extreme right of this photograph as the new corridors. Compare it to this photograph in the Iain Morrison collection.
A familiar view from the high park.
The former playing fields being prepared during the construction of the tower block. This land is now the site of the new school.
