' My maternal grandmother (a widow) worked here as cook up to and during World War One. It was an open air school for children at risk of TB. The children took their afternoon naps outside on covered porches every day. During the War they both moved into the school along with the caretaker, his wife and daughter. The school closed at the outbreak World War Two. Strange, as it was next to the Gas Works. Pollution levels must have been high. '
