Paul Graham (JRGS 1959-66) comments: Dining area? Staffroom? This beats me for the moment..

Derek Charlwood (JRGS 1958-64) adds: This is the Dining Hall, which also served as the main foyer. The serving hatch doors can clearly be seen, as can the main doors to the school on the right side. To the left would have been the inner doors, behind which we had to queue along the corridor waiting for each lunch sitting. There were some stairs leading to the first floor corridor, classrooms, Art Room and Mr. "Joe" Lowe's office.
