Much needed extension to St Cuthbert's Upper School.

Like everywhere nowadays, this school has succumbed to the ironmonger and put massive fences everywhere. Pah!

In 1991 an old pub called "The Green Tree" stood on this site which must have been demolished to build this Old Folks' Home which in turn looks set to be demolished.

Undergoing some redevelopment, this is where the big lads learn.

My Alma Mater. This is the Priests' House and Chapel as seen from the Schoolyard. Massive redevelopment of the upper school has not touched this corner of the school.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Harvest open day. This community garden was started in 1994 on the site of a former drift mine, and was originally called the Drift Permaculture Project. It has open days a number of times a year and the one today was to celebrate the coming harvest. The promised highland cows didn't show, but on the plus side we did have bees and a talk on bee-keeping

Dist:0.3km<br/>The garden is divided into areas, this is the woodland section and the path leads you through

Dist:0.4km<br/>As well as growing lots of veg and fruit the idea of the garden project is to green this area and plant lots of native trees. The little oak tree was settling in well and looked very happy in his own glade
