I enjoyed reading this poem Andrew! Reminded me that my old grade school was converted to a pharmacy and small business offices at least it didn't get torn down and still stands! Thanks for sharing! Thad *10*! ! !

This poem is about my first school, Redhouse infants, that I attended from 1971-74. It was demolished in about 1995 and the hand sold off for a housing development. They built a wooden fence around the new estate but for some reason, they left the old school gate standing within the fence. With the demolition of the school, it felt like a part of my life had been taken away. I do hope you enjoy reading this poem. Andrew
