Looking at the photo (Link) of the Stable Block (later to become the Junior Girls Block) I noticed a the little low wall - or rather stone verge - that border the section of grass between the road and the Girl's Block.

Seeing this series of irregular stones reminded me about the many vain attempts, I made to traverse its length to and from class in the new teaching block. I made it only once! Traditionally people would nudge you as they past, just enough to make your life difficult but not really enough to bole you over completely. I think only one section was the real change - quite near the top of the road were in began to bend - a series of very pointy and irregular stones.

I only spent one night in the Stable Block (as it was then) in my 1st Year, when I was allowed by Bungle to over-night with my brother who was in his 3rd Form. To my knowledge the lower level was never used to house pupils was this always the case ?

Does anyone remember when the Stable Block was built and was it always used to house the 3rd Year that is before  it was given over to the Girls?
