Bottom left, are the grounds of ISC (Imperial Service College), with Camperdown House (still in existence as of 2012) by the corner of the playing fields. Adjacent are some white marks in the grass which could well be the location of cricket 'nets'. Being August these would have been packed away in the school holidays. The huts, at least six, are further to the right between Camperdown and Alexander Houses. The latter was demolished in the 1970s. Eleven years after this photo was taken this area was developed with the construction of Kipling Building, 1939, its driveway cutting through the area of huts from Alma Road. The college soon moved to Hertford to join with the United Services College, a move forced by the war. Web history is here http://www.thamesweb.co.uk/windsor/windsorhistory/isc.html



Lower centre, below Trinity Church, is the area known as the Prairie, the sports field for Windsor County Boys School in 1928. This area became East Berkshire College in about 1960, itself demolished to make way for houses in 2010.



On the east side, beside the church and hidden by trees, is Church House originally built for Rev Hawtrey, and subsequently used by the school. The school was established in 1908 and the school rooms can be seen across the small square to the right of the church.



Other points of interest are the Roman Catholic Church in Alma Road, immediately above Camperdown House, the trees far left centre surround the private gardens of Clarence Crescent and bisecting the lower, right hand corner is St Marks Road.
