My old high school - Belfairs High School, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex. Afternoon cream tea for ex pupils and staff before the complete demolition of the old school. 3rd July 2011.
A wonderful collection of pictures,I myself went to the Big Event as I(then)had children at Belfairs in year 7 & 9,They have both left now but I have another child there now in year 8.
What a cracking gallery, Ken. A great collection of memories here, perfect in monochrome, which underscores the bitter-sweet melancholy of what had been. I went back to view my old school, after being abroad for some years and found that not a stone if it was left. But streets of houses occupied the site. I was shocked, but it is no trouble at all to revisit in my mind. I can even heard the shouting ;-) Big Vote
Love the treatment you’ve given this subject, Ken. Very clean images, tack sharp and interesting compositions; given the context this is a fantastic document.
