University College School, Frognal

A Memory of Swiss Cottage.

This was a Boys Grammar School. Their uniform was a cap and blazer with broad black and dark red stripes.
During the war a number of the large houses in Frognal were evacuated by their wealthy owners, "For The Duration". Their overgrown gardens, though not easily accessible, became 'Adventure Playgrounds" and their fruit trees a source of 'scrumping', for local local children.
