From an Ousel article in The Old Bedfordian News, March 2001, this is a remarkable photograph of the new spire, prior to its positioning on the roof of the school in 1981.
Another photograph shows the devastation of the estate at that time, with the dismantled old swimming pool in the foreground and the burned out shell of the school as a backdrop.
The Ousel published in June 1979 carries a supplement with images, including front and back cover, of the devastating effects of the fire.
