I took half a day off work today. I wanted to pound the wet streets of London and randomly go down streets I haven't visited in many decades. I ended up in Carmelite Street, as I walked along it I had a vague memory that there used to be a grand building there and I recall someone telling me it was a shutdown girls school. I couldn't locate it after walking up and down the street until I spotted a blue plaque stating it was once there but shutdown in 1969. Yet I recalled seeing it in the mid 80s. I did some research and yes, although the school itself moved in the late 60s the building was there until the late 1980s when it was finally demolished. I felt a tad sad as in my memory it was an interesting looking building. I have placed a then and now still below. It was used briefly for a few scenes in a movie called Hidden London in 1987, which I recall seeing and well worth watching. It's a tad surreal but an interesting watch with shots of the now long gone interiors.
