History about the site,Foundation stones ,buildings, managements, superintendents,employers, school or farm over time buildings demolished to make way for new ones children no longer attended school on site and the farm closes down,they would make up some of the past.
It's more than whats above its the living experiences of generations of children and families for some a short time for others it was their whole childhood life time.
The key to this history is the former residents of living experiences.
