James Gray: Three photographs [see also jgc_32_150 and 151] of periods varying from 1905 to 1930. This large building had 60 main rooms, a chapel, dining hall and a gymnasium. It stood in 11 acres with swimming pool, rifle range and playing fields. It was bought by its last owners in 1925 and was seriously damaged by fire in 1961. Vacated in the following years it was demolished in 1964. jgc_32_149  

2019: Following the demolition of the school, the site was developed to accommodate a Trade Union rest centre (also demolished later on) and the domestic housing we see today. (Photographer: Ron Fitton)
