This photo is taken across the back quad looking at the windows of Bramber House corridor. The central main door to the quad was never opened in my time there as a glass display cabinet was kept on the other side and a couple of easy chairs for visitors to the school. The top row of windows on the second floor is where Matron Molly Harvey had made her home. I visited Molly at her retirement cottage in Shoreham in 1997. It was the following Christmas that we failed to receive a card from her. She was a talented artist and several of her canvases adorned the walls of the school after she had left in 69.

Revisiting the site, I realise that I identified the above photo wrongly. The trees in the foreground and their shadows mean that this is of the "Front Quad" which had a roundabout with flowered segments which were the pride of the groundsman Mr. Dudeny. The school bus habitually parked there under the cedar trees (destroyed by the famous hurricane). The picture shows the front door, not the back. To the left is the office and to the right Mr. Kane's office, the staffroom and the staff dining room. Above are the windows for Bramber House and the sickbay. Thinking of the groundsman, Mr. Kane, at morning assembly announced that Mr. Dudeny had found that someone had broken into his greenhouse overnight and taken quite a few tomatoes. He was concerned because only yesterday he had sprayed the tomatoes with an arsenical compound! All the eyes in the hall swivelled to unwittingly identify the culprit who looked very sickly! I am pleased to add that John Fi....... developed no adverse conditions.
