A handy shortcut from their homes in Meadow Road (built in 1952) for EE workers, and for their children to go to St Leonard's School. And for train-spotting! |

Opened in 1905 for the children of the influx of workers in what became known as Siemens Colony. The original St Leonard's School opened in 1904 in a room at Stafford Baptist Church. |
