I think I can remember a School by the Church, or up road from cross road in Lea Cross. Is that right?

Hello Baz

The 1903 Ordnance Survey map on the National Library of Scotland web site shows the school in the centre of this image with the church to its south east.

You can see a building in this view on Google Streetview which is on the site of the old school but I don't know how much of the present building might have been included in the old school building.  The tower of the church can be seen in the background just to the left of the building.

Don't forget to put Lea Cross School into your favourite search engine.

Thanks Mike, the picture was blurred in my head but looking at the old map I can now see it a lot clearer. Thanks again. Am trying to put together thoughts for magazine.

Not sure if I can be of any help Baz but I used to live at The Trap in Lea Cross in the 50's. My Email is gjdavies1@bigpond.com
