Miss E A Bonsey - 'Roses Way' kindergarten school for boys and girls from 3 to 5 years. Miss Bonsey appears to have started her school as the infants' section of the Roses Way School of No 26 North Parade, and later, No 17 Cumberland Road which was run by Miss M A Moss. On the latter's retirement the main school appears to have closed and Miss Bonsey becomes the principal of her own kindergarten located here at her family home, retaining the name 'Roses Way'.
