be the home of the City Boys’ School
until it moved to new premises on
Downing Drive in 1965. The memorial
boards were moved from Clarence
House to Downing Drive at that time,
but eventually were taken down. They
were found a few years ago in the
boiler room in a very poor state, by a
former pupil of the school. Through an
appeal to the ‘Wyvernians’
organisation of former City Boys’
pupils funds were raised to repair and
refurbish the boards, which had been
vandalised.
