ST MICHAEL'S CHURCH - 1981
View from Rose Walk
By Laurie Stonehouse
This interesting view of St Michael's Church was taken from the rear of Rose Walk. The small wooden hut just beyond the gardens was situated in the grounds of the former Southdown School, a small section of the school is just in view. The hut was known as the Bee Hive within Southdown School. I've been informed that in the 1950's, the girls from the Hillcrest School would have walked here to learn domestic duties, such as cooking and washing, whilst the boys had gardening lessons.
