I came across this story completely by chance. I had been exploring the life and times of the natural history artist Edwin Wilson, who had grown up in "The Beeches" on Trinity Road. I discovered that he (probably) and certain of his brothers (definitely) had been educated at Halbrake School, Park Road (now Elsynge Road).
