Burrough Green - School showing war memorial clock 2014-07-24
According to the English Heritage listing, this wing of the school was built c.1920, but a more detailed history of the school says that the wing was added in 1911 (a date confirmed by www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=66716 ), with the clock added as a war memorial in 1919. The inclusion of the "1919" date, marking the year of the Versailles Treaty (rather than 1918, the year of the armistice), is interesting.
