By the mid 1950's, this field was to become home to two Secondary Modern Schools, namely Midfield Boys and Midfield Girls - seperated by the length of a football pitch. During the early 1970's, they were renamed Walsingham, possibly named after the famous Sir Thomas Walsingham of the Tudor reign, who owned land around this area and whose title of ownership passed to his descendants for a quite a few generations. The school ceased functioning in 1990. With the girls school now complely demolished and only the Boys school gymnasium and hall left standing, the site is now predominately a housing estate. '
