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.
Although it had decamped to Broomfield Road by the time this picture was taken, the Grammar School had formerly stood here - the entrance to the old buildings being just to the left of
Broomfield House has a complicated history.
As well as the usual statutory facilities, such as tennis courts and a football ground, there is an attractive series of lakes and ponds, as well as Broomfield House with its stableyard, an early 18th-century
In 1892 the school moved to its third official home, in new buildings just up Broomfield Road (see photograph 31516, below).
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
In the distance is Wattisham Road, with 1930s Local Authority housing and the larger Brookfields Estate, begun in 1948.
Note the grave slabs and box tombs, and the rear of Brookfields shop behind the church.
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.
