IN 1905 my paternal grandfather, Arthur Frederick Nunn, started at what was known as the National School and later became All Saints Church of England (controlled) Primary. In those days the school was based solely in London Road. That campus had been built back in 1847 at a cost of £1,500 and using bricks left over from the construction of Maldon’s East Station. At the time it was deemed to be a “state of the art” school, with a dwelling for teachers at the front, the boys department to the right (as viewed from the road), girls to the left and infants to the rear.
