Old School Names

A Memory of Battersea.

Hi, This isn't a memory as such, more a question. I'm writing up a brief history of my early years and as part of my time was (with some friends) spent going to gymnastics classes at a school in Broomwood Rd. but for the life of me, I can't find out what the school was called back, in the mid to late 50's. It is still there, under a new name and on an old 1950's OS map but sadly no name. Can anyone help.

Thanks Ken

There used to be a school called Walsingham on Broomwood Road, I think it was a girl's school, and closed in the late 70s early 80s, other than that, Honeywell School is a road away, I hope that helps

Hi Trish, I think the school you are referring to, that was Garrett Green is now called Burntwood which is in Burntwood Lane.

Wasn't Walsinghan the girls school at the far end by the common, if it was the school it must have closed after 1985, I've got sketches that I did in 1984/5 that the school by the Clapham Common. Evening classes, those were the days
