| Up End School. The following text is from the www.bedfordshire.gov.uk web-site:
On the night of Sunday 16th February 1975 the school burned down. This was the second fire in two years and happened at the end of half term. The school was 75% damaged and could never be used again. Temporary classrooms were installed at Balliol Lower School to accommodate the displaced children. The blackened ruin stood for a number of years before being demolished in the late 1980s and housing built on the site. |
