What a change from 1950-5 when I walked this street to and from school. Where is the row of terraced houses complete with basements? The basements were just grilles in the pavement so the rooms must have been very dark.
I can still remember standing on that side of the street in September 1949. nervously waiting to start my first day at the 'big school'. Happy memories, a good school, and a brilliant web site.

Recently on a visit to Brighton I was able to visit the old Fawcett School building, being accompanied by one of the secretaries, I was able to point out the former classrooms and several other items of interest. The memories came flooding back even after leaving the school in 1956. Apart from the various modernisation the corridors and classrooms are still all in situ, my old class from when I was a twelve year old is now an office. I will update these notes at a later date when I have had a further visit.
