Hi AlexK
Great photos - brought back lots of memories. In your second photo, is that the houses in Oban Drive in the background? I went to NK School from 1952 to 1957 and always thought those houses looked great compared to where I lived (Hinshaw Street).
I knew that all the school buildings were demolished in recent years but as I only had a brief glimpse from the bus going up Maryhill Road on my last visit, I didn't get much of a view. It looked like everything had gone, including the church and also the buildings where we were taught "domestic science". This was in two parts (Oak House and Mahogany House) and on three levels, including vast kitchens where we learned to cook and bake. This must have been a big loss as we all loved cooking and cleaning there.
Has there been any building on the site yet?
