Where was this? I think it was demolished in the 1930's
Lovely photo of the old school. I don't remember it, of course, but look at the street light on the corner and compare with the previous photo of the modern school.
I was proud to start at this building in 1933rac4g
Was any part of this lovely building preserved?
The Architect was the famous Alfred Waterhouse - who was also responsible for Ince UDC Cemetery and Wigan Public Library. It was begun in 1875, but not finished, and formally opened, until November 3rd 1879.
