Built as Primary School No 2258 in 1886 for 200 pupils it is the only one of this standard plan and size to have survived without major alterations and additions.Although the infants' room at the rear has been demolished, the jerkinhead roofs, the multi-coloured brick walls, the original windows and all the roof and gable finials are intact.
The school was designed to accommodate 200 students, but by 1903 it had fallen to forty , the school closed in 1967.
