Bradstow School and Bertram Mills Girls School

The pamphlet, that comprises of the pictures in this blog post, has written on the front:

“Bertram Mills Girls School, Dumpton Park Drive, now (1970) Bradstow.”
This sort of elusive comment can be very difficult.
For the address, 30 and 32 Dumpton Park Drive, Broadstairs Kellys reveals the following
1939 - 1957 Lord Marshall Holiday Home for Children.
And 34 Dumpton Park Drive

1969 Bradstow School for Delicate Children

1971 Bradstow Special School (Inner London education authority)

The current address for Bradstow School is 34 Dumpton Park Drive, see their website http://www.bradstow.wandsworth.sch.uk/ and I can’t find number 34 listed in the older Kellys or 32 in the later ones.

In 1957 Bradstow School for Delicate Children is listed at 12 Dumpton Park Drive





Note the boarding school beds, the mattresses are probably horsehair and about as comfortable as sleeping on a horse.



Note the sliding partitions between the three classrooms, I have personal experience of this dreadful arrangement in another school.
