| An outside toilet block, so typical of schools at this time and still in use at many schools until at least the 1960s. The hard winter of 1962-3 saw many authorities having to rethink toilet provision with schools closed due to the frozen water supply... and the generally rather insanity arrangements. Needless to say some outside school loos survive today. |

| Almost unbelievably this wood and corrugated iron play ground shelter is still in use today and can be seen on Google. |
