Our Inquiry - reflecting on change in our community

Did you know? St Albans was once a farm. St Albans was named after George Dickinson’s farm, which lay to the south of the St Albans Creek. He had called his farm ‘St Albans’ in memory of his cousin Harriet Mellon, an actress, who had become the Duchess of St Albans.
St Albans School was once farm land. Edeware now named Edgeware was once called Knightstown. 
We needed to do some investgating because Room 7 did not know the name of the street that our school is situated on. Sheppard Place was once called School Lane. Some children thought Sheppard place was called The Loop Road because of the need to walk the loop before and after school.
Today we drew what animal we thought would have roamed or lived on the site of Room 7.

Do you have any local history to share with us?
