It will be a shame if this go’s but I suspect it will make a great pub bistro.
I use to go there a while back, in the 70’s when it was a freeÂ to get inÂ of course, and not the dedcated venue it later became.

My old school has a website::

www.elliottonians.com

I discovered this quite by chance as one of my old teachers Edmund Hodges Â had sent me a message on Friends Reunited.

“Welcome to the Elliottonian Web Site. This site is here to complement the Elliott School’s ‘E Group’ and for the enjoyment of anyone associated with the school. This may include Teachers, Pupils and Staff, both present and past. Although the Elliott School has been located at Putney for over fifty years, its roots lay at Southfields and are over a hundred years old.

We have resisted the temptation to present a ‘flashy’ web site, opting instead for an easy to follow, link driven layout. Below you will find links to the relevant sections of the site, these may be further divided depending on content. Remember, it will only grow if people are prepared to contribute their interesting pictures and recollections”.
