Hi Brian, I see what you mean, so first things first. The first picture I posted does look like a school, so I assumed that is what it was. After checking many maps and information about Ilderton Road I could only find two schools being in Ilderton Road, the one by the bridge which I knew was not the one in the picture and the one that was where Canterbury Industrial Estate is now, so I assumed (how many times have I been told do not Assume) that is where the school in the picture was.
I have now located the picture somewhere else and it states on the corner of Ilderton Road & Old Kent Road, again after looking at many maps, WW1 & 2 bombings I cannot find any information that confirms a school being there, anyway, school or no school I now think that the information is correct. That being the case the street to the left would be Wagner Street, hope you agree with me.
Your picture you found on London Picture Archive (Collage) may well be the school by Hornshay Street but knowing that they do get it wrong at times I would not post it as that until we can confirm it is what it is.
Thanks, Brian, for taking the time to post the picture, plus the information and pointing me in the right direction concerning the location.
