Coven Heath School in The 1880s

I didn't go to the school but my great-great-auntie did. I have a letter of hers that I have been transcribing. She says.. "I went to a one roomed school on Coven Heath. I was 3. A young lady was the teacher who called for each of the children on the way, thre was only 8 of us. I got on well and at 6 years old was able to go to Byshbury school 2 miles walk along the high hedged lanes." This would have been in 1886. I just wondered if anyone had any pictures of the school or the area that they could send to me. My email is: hindes57@supanet.com Thanks in advance, Jo
