Hi. Here's a post of Lacewood Primary School in Bolton on Dearne. Built in 1896, there were orignally 2 main buildings (infant and junior) and a caretakers house. A seperate nursery building was built in the 1980s. The infant building has been kept as a community centre, but the junior building has now been demolished.

This is the junior school building:

Hall - loads of hardwood parquet flooring - what a waste.

Not much left really:

Hope these are of interest to people. I'm open to constructive crititcism!
 
Only the one piece of constructive advice; Please rotate your portrait photographs in the future, I don't like cricks in my neck ;)
 
Nice one for doing a report on this,im only round the corner from it.Its a good job they left the war memorial alone thats in the school yard.Ive got an old meat slab like that in my cellar.Good work brother-it is now documented and not lost forever !
