Ah!! my primary school days.

Wivenhoe primary School, opened in 1891 in Philip Road. It was designed by Mr. Dupont who also designed the Wivenhoe dry dock in Forrestt's ship building yard.

The original plans were drawn up by Mr. Start,and then, because  the tenders were all to high, more plans were drawn up. Eventually Mr. Dupont's were accepted.( The Story of Wivenhoe ,Nicholas Butler , page 179.)
