Memorial Schools Hither Green Lane, Lewisham

MEMORIAL SCHOOLS, LEWISHAM.—The foundation-stone of the schools to be erected in Hither Green-lane, Lewisham, to the memory of the Rev. Walford Green, D.D., was laid recently. The site adjoins the Wesleyan Church, to which the schools, when completed, will form an addition. The hall, which will measure 54 ft. by 45 ft., will have provision for twenty classrooms, and an infants’ room is to be 30 ft. by 24 ft. There will also be a room for the secretary, a library, and other accommodation. Messrs. Spalding & Spalding were the architects for the work. [Builder 29 April 1905 page 473]

The church and most of the memorial schools were destroyed by the bombing carried out on the nights of 11 and 12 September 1940. The site is now occupied by Littlebourne Council Flats.
