clare Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Is that the opposite side to the school?On the school side they are building a theatre with which I'm sure they will justify their charitable status by sharing with the local community........

Asset Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 According to the literature I have seen, they will be sharing the theatre with the community. Did you know that the National Youth Theatre began at Alleyn's?

val Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I don't think it's the side of the school, its the green area that they used to play cricket on backing on to Colwell road, all dug up now with piles of earth Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/781-alleyns-playing-field-dug-up/#findComment-19194 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Townleygreen Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Apparently they are relaying the sports field so that they can in future be able to accommodate the 1st X! for football and cricket. The new building encroaches quite massively on those pitches, you see. That's all. It definitely isnt any new buildings apart from the theatre. The NYT are getting a rehearsal room they can use as part of the building. The NYT's founder used to teach english at Alleyns. he left in 1958 to start the NYT. Michael Croft is his name.
