Folkstones ROCKHILL School

This is the story of a girls school that has lasted over 200 years from its start on the old parade ground of a ruined castles bailey in Folkestone, to its current existence on the Isle of Wight. Its name has changed from Mrs. Cullens Establishment (a "Dames School) to Parade House Academy, to Rockhill, to the Anglo-Continental School, and now to Upper Chine. Though its name and location have changed, it has proven to be an enduring institution. Fourth in the Florence Harrison series, this book describes the school where Florence lived as a child and the impact the school had on her family and her career. Illustrated with numerous color pictures and maps.
