I think this should be King Edward VI playing fields. The school itself was still in Havelock Road at this time. |

We lived at 211 Wilton Road, boundary fence lined up with the back corner of The Atherley School. The furthest garage along that row was possible ours - late 70's early 80's. |

This is the house I grew up in - 32 Evelyn Crescent. I lived here from 1966 to 1979. We knew it was built in 1928 as an elderly man who used to do repairs for us told us he'd helped build it. |

Confirm Tipps' comment - King Edward VI not King Alfred. KES is still on same site, Atherley School has moved. |

I remember the cemetery well - we used to walk through it on our way to The Common in the 70s. It was little visited, overgrown and a great place for seeing woodpeckers. |

This is a fascinating photograph as it shows the early development of Evelyn Crescent, a mix of mainly 3 bed semis with some larger detached houses on the corners. The broad sweeping road to the left of the photo is the lower part of Wilton Rd which runs in front of King Edward VI School which wasn't built when this photo was taken. Hill Lane lies between The Cemetery and The Atherley School which was demolished in the late 1990s and the site subsequently redeveloped with housing. |

If you look closely at the field to the right of Wilton road, its possible to see goal posts of football pitches, which is very likely the playing field of King Edward VI School. |

We moved into Evelyn crescent in 1986 and are still here! Our house is not built yet in this photo but our next door neighbour's is! |
