Eastfields High School, Mitcham

[BoBo]

Hi
Eastfields High School for Boys was opened in the 60's on the old Mitzen nursery site situated next to Pains Fireworks factory and the Links Road level crossing in Mitcham Eastfields.  In 2002 it was merged with Rowan High School for Girls and became Mitcham Vale High School.  In 2007 it changed it's name again to St Marks Church of England School, which it is still now.
The current school on the site is celebrating it's 10th anniversary and would like to produce a display showing the history of the site and the two schools which merged to make the current school - I apologise as it is very confusing!
Did you attend Eastfields High School?  Do you have any photos which you could scan and send me for the display or any stories which we could put on the board? Unfortunately all the old photos and Headteachers log books are now lost so any information and especially photos would be great!

Have you tried the Merton Memories website? They've scanned in over 15,000 historical photos.

You could try the facebook page:

There are over 1300 members, so there's a good chance some will have photos.

All the best

Many thanks.  I checked both sites and was able to collate a number of photos for the history exhibition.
Thank you again.
