Michael Clark used to deliver milk in Sopwell and recalls that there was a fire station built in Watling View at the same time as the houses were built. Twelve houses were allocated to fireman. The fire station building proved to be unsuitable and was turned into an elderly care home: Vesta Lodge. This would have been in the 1960s.

Hi Michael,
I work at Vesta Lodge and we’re doing a bit of history searching, re: when St. Adrian’s was built please.
Thanks in adv
St Adrian’s school was opened in 1960 although the opening ceremony was held a year later.
