The New Block

A few pictures from the Coventry Telegraph of the ‘New’ block or Senior block as it was known when it was opened in 1966. Later, when the Pioneer Centre opened it became known as Forest Lodge. the ‘New’ block was demolished in 2010!

Here are some photos –


This first picture is from the 1960’s or early 70’s I think.


This latter picture is from the Pioneer centre period judging by the building next to it – perhaps prior to its demolition judging by the skips!



The old dorms after the new Block opened in 1966. Gone are the bunk beds as many of the older pupils moved into the new block.


My thanks to the Pioneer Centre for letting us photocopy this article.
