Do you know if it was operational in the late 1930s?

My gran worked at Ravenswood 3/4 days a week (known as Auntie) we used to visit regularly, my mum, dad and sister during her time working there 1951 onwards. I have photos taken in the garden with Topsie, a little red haired girl with freckles and my mum is still in contact with Fred Grey who went into the armed forces and Sidney Dennis who went into teaching.
