The Calgarth Estate Photographs

The bungalows were semi- detached, one side having two bedrooms, the other three. They had a kitchen with a stove, which was heated by the fire in the living room, a bathroom and a toilet. The interior walls were single painted blocks and the metal framed windows were single glazed.

The school was originally housed in one building, but as the numbers grew, it occupied the hall, canteen and kitchen.
