Any old pictures of Holy Trinity School?

I realise postcards may be rare, but what about something before the 1990s showing the old front gates/wall?

I only have a couple of pictures from the 1980s, that I've uploaded <here>. I've also added a couple of pictures that I took during the building of the new wing in the late 1990s.

Nice one, Steve, you're a legend! John Coulter told me that John Seaman didn't have a single postcard of Holy Trinity School, so I didn't expect anyone else to have any, either... However, the recent transformation means even a photo from recent decades is now rare.

I attended here in my early childhood, and that is the school I remember--with the old front wall!!! This is not just local history; it's also nostalgia. To anyone else, that old brick will bare no significance whatsoever.

Everytime I walk past Holy Trinity from either Dartmouth Road or Thorpewood Avenue, the new high walls really make me sick. It's enough to make a sharp dent into my happy memories. Steve's photos help refresh the good old days!

If Steve hadn't gone out of his way to take those photos then... but he did! They are now part of a photographic record that was close to being non-existent. Steve is a saviour!
