Broomfield Road corner was already a problem, with its 'No Right Turn' signs and people wary of crossing the road.
The Broomfield Road premises - pictured in the year of their completion - were the school's third proper home.
Included in this view (taken from the top of what is known as the Broomfields) is the old Willesborough Hospital.

Ahead, below the church, is Bloomfield's engineering works – Bloomfield's were agents for Massey Harris machinery.
The school was designed by Sir Arthur Bloomfield in 1883; it contained the Headmaster's residence, boarding accommodation and classrooms, including the 'Big School', later the library, on the ground floor

The spired church of St Anne Brookfield, 1853, by George Plunkett, is clearly seen silhouetted against the sky, with St Joseph's, more familiarly known as 'Holy Joe's', to its right.
