New Kenton School East View


Here is the new school as seen from the field, looking east. Unbeknown to me I captured the other smashed goal post in the photo, in front of the fence, no doubt smashed by by peasants and bounders from the bottom(the other one can be seen in the 'view from plateau' post...)how dreadful...note the old footpath that leads from kenton bar estate up to the 4 cottages at the top of kenton lane...they've had to leave access to the footpath, so there are gates through the fences from the school to the field...
99% of us from Kenton Bar went to Kenton, the normals, the peasants and even the posh...1% went to Blakelaw(gone),John Marley(gone)Slatyford(gone)or possiblyRutherford(gone)...so now 100% go to Kenton I presume!Blakelaw is 'the springfield centre', a teckas resource centre, John Marley has been demolished and is now Etal Lane Police Station+ army housing,dunno about Slatyford, but know it is no more, Rutherford became West Gate Community College(secondary school still) but now it is shut except for the sports hall as they've built a new school in scotswood -'Excelsior Academy'
