The History of Lambs Lane School 1908-2008
The Spencers Wood Local History Group was formed to study the history of the village and how life changed from the beginning of the 20th century. One of these changes lay around the education system. With Lambs Lane School celebrating its centenary year in 2008, it seemed like an obvious choice after the success of the first village book!
