School was difficult to find - set back behind gates off New St. I was lucky to talk to one of the teachers I met in the pedestrian precinct behind. She didnt know about the FB. The school is now closed, the site is under construction to be redeveloped as a library. The building will retain some of the original structure, so it is possible the FB will survive. Another visit in 6 months?

No sign of a school at this grid ref,only the old vicarage.Another search is in order I think.
