0.16 linear metres

ACC/3531 1939-1943 Collection 0.16 linear metres Shillington Street Boys' School , Clapham Junction

The log book was kept by Mr Austin Brewer, headmaster of Shillington Street Boys' School, Clapham Junction, while the school was evacuated to Cranleigh, Surrey from September 1939 to August 1943. There is only one entry in the log book before May 1940 when it records that Allfarthing Lane, Shillington Street, Swaffield Road and Waldron Road Schools combined under Mr Brewer. In July 1940 Saint Peter's Church of England School, Wapping arrived in Cranleigh, having been re-evacuated from Brighton, but their children did not combine with the children from the other London Schools until May 1941. By May 1943 the number of pupils was falling. Mr Brewer decided to retire and the London school children combined with the local Church of England School.

This log book was given to Surrey Local Studies Library in 1989 by Mr Brewer's daughter and transferred to the Greater London Record Office (now the London Metropolitan Archive) in 1995 (Acc/3531).

Log book kept by Austin Brewer, headmaster of Shillington Street Boys School, while school was evacuated to Cranleigh, including newspaper cuttings and leaflets regarding local events, 1939-1943.
