Central School
In 1894 plans
to build two buildings to be used as a school known as Central Board School
were approved. The infants building would hold 550 mixed pupils
whilst the junior building would hold 250 mixed pupils.
Unfortunately the day after the official opening the retaining wall collapsed, sending rubble bricks and dirt cascading down onto the houses of Camel Street and Quarry Street below.
The Headmaster in 1902 was Mr Edward Ashworth and Infants Mistress Miss Annie Jane Lord pictured below.
