Michael Hall - Rudolph Steiner School at Forest Row This is known as Michael Hall - Rudolph Steiner school and whilst the picture shows the original mansion that dominated Kidbrooke Park, it does not show the many purpose built school facilities for the approx. 700 pupils nor the pupils themselves !

Wealden outcrop in Homestall Road which is in East Sussex but continue away from the photographer along that road for a couple of hundred yards and you come to Ashurst Wood, West Sussex. Stoke Brunswick School lies behind the outcrop. The rock is rusty because it contains iron ore.
