O.K I give up. I am trying desperately to think WHAT the building is JUST to the left, and half way up St Albans spire, on the same level as Mill Lane fire station.
Any one know?
Part of the old hospital, now demolished, I think.
The school was more modern than that. The building in the picture appears to bew deffinately Victorian.
And thinking about it, the admin at Mill Lane ran in the other direction.I.E we would be seeing the front parallell with the side of the fire station we can see there.
That makes it look as if it was right next to the Cinder path (Love Lane....or was/is it lovers Lane?) that ran between the allotments and the back wall of the hospital land. But for the LIFE of me I can not remember that building.
The admin block at VCH (annexe), (ie Mill Lane)was, I am pretty convinced, lower, only two stories, + attics and running at a direction that would form an L with this building.
I think it is definately the old VCH admin block, if you look on Google Earth the images shown for this area are from 2007 before the block was demolished, the aeriel view seems to fit the photo of the block pretty well, and it does appear to be in the correct orientation.
Poulton Primary? It was somwwhere between Mill Lane and Poulton Road I think (Rostherne Ave?). My son Elliot went there for a while. Dont know if it;s still there or not?
BTW I'm new on here just found the site the other day! Live in (well near!) Atlanta GA (USA) now... Perry Bird (My Parents still live in Wallasey Village)
