St Elphin's – 24th February, 2012
Below are some photographs which were taken at St Elphin's Park (formerly St Elphin's School) on 24th February, 2012 when Gill Prescott-Haywood, Liz Bailey-Donlan, Kathryn Betterton-Dickens and Judy Crook (Miss Crook) had a mini Builders' Tour. Reference to some of the old rooms has been based on what they were known as in the 1960s & 1970s.
