Kennington Lane schools

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am hoping that you may be able to help me or direct me to the correct persons/site. Someone in one of my groups on Facebook has asked if anyone knows any details of the old school that was located where the new Tesco's store is now situated. We are not talking about The Licensed Victuallers School. I can now supply you with a map from 1893-6 which shows both the schools along Kennington Lane. It is the school on the left in the map that this query is about.

Thanking you in advance for your time and help in this matter. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind Regards

Peter Brayne

Update:

I have since found out that the school in question was the Upper Kennington Lane Board School which was damaged by bombing in WW2. A lot of posts about this school query can be found on the Bring back the Lambeth Walk group on Facebook i.e.

writing is a wonderful outlet for personal passions ... It follows the fortunes of the down-at-heel tenants of No 10 Dulcimer Street, Kennington, a lodging-house sub-divided into flats; there’s the lonely landlady, the ageing Soho hostess, the world-weary Mr Josser, who manages to symbolically smash his cheap retirement clock, the doomed, adenoidal Mr Puddy, and others scraping by in 1939 London ..
