Take another look - Then & Now Thames High School.
What's changed? While Thames High School is still on the same site, the buildings have been replaced except for the old hall / part of the old Baillie Street School. The site started on just a quarter of the land that the school occupies today.
Slowly over the decades the school grounds spread to cover most of the land between Sealey to Richmond and Rolleston to Mackay Streets. This was made possible by the closing of a section of Baillie Street.
