don walker, if you note at the top of Foxy's post, that message was posted in June 2004, and he/she has not logged on to this site since July 2007. Sending a PM might attract attention....

I didn't know the place so this is only guesswork, but was it really on Mundella Road? If I've got the right place, it seems to be on Collygate Road

Picture the Past have several photos of the area, but I don't think any show the tin shed.

This one shows "the site of St Faith's Parish room" which may be the best you'll get.

This seems to show the church which I assume is St Faith's.

I can't make this fit with the map; I think PTP caption may be wrong.

And this at least looks like a tin shed, or a school.

Yep, that seems to be the right position of Santa Fe although I seem to remember it being set back from the road a bit more. It was also used for our cub scouts nights, great times! One game I remember was for the scout master, (can't remember his name) to stand in the middle of the floor with a pile of small coloured bean bags at his feet. He then had a thick rope with a boxing glove tied to the end which was filled with something heavy. He would swing this around his head. We would sit in a large circle and wait for him to call our names one by one. That cub would then have to dodge the swinging rope to rush in and grab a bean bag and then get out without getting clobbered and knocked off your feet. Wouldn't be allowed today.
