Adverts from 'School Construction, 1954', a reprint of articles
published that year in the School Construction section of "Education"
(Official Organ of the Association of Education Committees).
Amazing Fact of the Day: a new school was finished in England & Wales every day between 1950 and 1970!
Also fascinating - to me, anyway - is how far back that classic school building style goes (see 1st and 3rd pics). Probably because I was born in the late 60s, but I'd always sort of assumed it didn't arrive till the 60s or even 70s.
