Here's the room, with some images showing how it changed, or didn't very much, over the years, along with some of the teachers who occupied the room for a while.
I always remember that even if I have been at a school a long time (I spent 20 years in one school) I am only really 'passing through' in the longer term, and if I went back now some years later (as I have) most people wouldn't have a clue who I was.
Here's the room on Allcroft Road at William Ellis School in 1929.
Fast forward to 1939, with a teacher identified as V. C. Spary
Fast forward to 1953 and Mr. J. Jackson was in the room.
And here in 1953 is Mr. A P Smith helping a student in the Allcroft Road classroom.
The images have a credit to the London Metropolitan Archive apart from the final image which is has the copyright Ian Lyons.
The London Metropolitan Archive is a huge resource, and I need to delve into this a little to find some images that might be lurking there of former GA Presidents.
The image section of the site is called COLLAGE.
I did some preliminary searches to see whether I could find more similar classroom images, and ended up finding quite a few.
Some geography classrooms here.
