The old derelict army camp where I used to play as a boy is now the Cambridge Science Park...

I would like to feel nostalgic, but I must agree that it is an improvement on what was there before.

Cheers,

Re. schools, try this one: in my final year of junior school, they built a new infants school across the village, which opened the following year. The school I attended has largely been knocked down now, apart from part which has been turned into some sort of community centre.

But the school which had just been built as I left has now been knocked down, and a new new school has been built next door to the aforementioned remains of the old school, on what used to be its playing field.

Do I feel old?

[The Q]

Just to Identify my schools..

Ballykelly Primary school Northern Ireland,   Still going...

St James Primary School Ludgershall Wilts, demolished now has housing on site. This was the one on TV because of the meals, served in the scouts hall, from meals prepared some distance away and served from "hot boxes" (read mildly warm)...

Tidworth Down Secondary Modern School for Boys, my dad also went to this school when it opened in the early 1950s.  Demolished replaced by an Academy on the sports ground. [url=http://www.thewellingtonacademy.org.uk/Pages/Index.asp]http://www.thewellingtonacademy.org.uk/Pages/Index.asp  note it's the modern building as the academy covers several schools..

Eochar School  or Sgoil an Iochdair, now a community centre http://www.iochdar.co.uk/ The Primary sgoil might still be open, but the secondary school has definitely moved. I notice on the web site they are raising money to improve the football pitch, which when I was there had in interesting feature... A burn / stream running across it at 45degrees to the layout of the pitch...

Inverness High School still open but half it's size all the porta cabins have gone. https://invernesshs.wordpress.com/
