James Gray: Latterly known as Queens Park Junior School, this was opened on 8 November 1889, to replace the older school in Eastern Road (1826) which was under the auspices of the British and Foreign Bible Society. Together with the adjoining Senior School, it was built and fitted at a total cost of £11300. As some illustration of the density of population in this, then, rather poor area, the accommodation was for 798 children.

The buildings did not quite attain their centenary, being demolished in July 1987, and the area added to the Senior School playground. Date of photographs – July 20 1986. jgc_22_119

2019: The streets and areas to the immediate north of Eastern Road have been subject to demolition and redevelopment over several decades. Nothing appears to have survived, making it difficult to identify the precise location. The best guess is Freshfield Place looking east. For the other view of the school, see jgc_22_118 on the Park Street page.  (Photographer: Jayne Paulin)
