A photo page has now been put up here on Hidden Horsham, not a great deal of text because the museum already has a book about the school. See foot of the feature for details

Thanks to Andy H I have had advanced noticed of this demolition wished slipped past me. I have cycled up there and got a few shots though I would like to get inside and over the fence to get some more.. I will have a chat with WSCC to see if I can arrange this...

As Andy pointed out there is a great WSCC stone crest & date stone on the front of the building. I e mailed WSCC on Friday and got a response today (Monday) so that is excellent. Here is what they say:

"Further to your enquiry about the WSCC coat of arms stone on the former St Leonards Infant School, I am advised by Mr Don Ikin, Principal Valuation Surveyor in West Sussex Property Services Department, that he has already been contacted about the preservation of the stone and will be making arrangements as part of the sale for it to be carefully dismantled and donated to the local museum. "

Sounds like everything is in order, I did wonder whether it could be used on the new building though...another e mail going to WSCC soon!
