Description: 29th March 1963 The two wings of the school can be seen in the centre, with extensive playing fields. Otley Road is in the bottom right corner, the Ring Road runs from the top left across to the right edge, junction with Otley Road. User Comments: Name: Tom Ackroyd Comment: I went to this school from 1985 to 1988 in the middle of both buildings is the school halls of each, the eastern building hall was gutted in a fire in 60's or 70's and was replaced by a modern sports hall the western building hall remained the same as it was when built, the two buildings between the larger ones were the swimming pool at the bottom and the school canteen at the top. Alas the grand building was demolished in 2003-04 to make way for a state of the art new school which lacks the character of the old one!!!

Thank goodness times have changed.

For any of my contemporaries (or other interested parties) there is a wealth of information about the school on the www.lawnswoodhighschool.com website.

When I went it wasn't as built up around it. The girls were let out 15 minutes before the boys, and the girls had to ride downstairs on the trams (the boys were upstairs). i remember the imaginary line!

Also you can see my house in Wynford Avenue, number 8. Wynford Ave is first right off the Ring Road towards Horsforth, where I was born (Four Gables Nursing Home). I also remember that imaginary line down the centre of the playing field, but portacabins in the boys playground heralded mixed 6th Form classes at LMS.
