College Maps

Red areas are the elevated walkways. These were off limits during lunch and recess lest anyone got 'accidently' thrown over the edge. Stairs consisted of a puke green stairwell in the middle of block N, a rickety iron fire escape at the west end of the same block, the main staircase under the tower (K) and a flight overlooking the Principal's private garden between blocks J and Q. Blue areas are covered, ground level walkways. Two storey buildings were concentrated around the quadrangle and are indicated with a darker shade of grey.
