(see this users gallery) An excellent photo from Marian Heawood of the plaque on the wall of the Fountain House Hotel in Church Road.
The hotel was once The Hawthorns School for Boys, where Eric Blair for a while was a teacher, better known to the world as George Orwell.
At least one of his former pupils is still alive and well in Hayes! (March 2006) |
