Central School in Abbey Street - Floor Plans
CAN YOU IMAGINE what it's like to push your memory back 65 years to try and draw the layout of your school?? This is what Arthur set out to do when he saw the pictures of Abbey Street - the second home of Derby Central School. Here is the outcome of his late night session. These drawings reflect building usage from 1935-1939. Send us your memories (and drawings!!)

He adds: "[these are] rough recollections of the Abbey Street layout. I think the scale proportions are not good because the Art Room, Main Hall and Chemmy Lab are fatter than they should be. It is now 23.30 and bedtime! Note two schools, Gerard Street and Abbey Street were built back to back." Great job!
