Householder very interested in historic aspects of FB. The school was built c1896, but the part which the FB is on was classrooms which were added later. The building ceased to be a school c1973. It was retained by the Local Authority as an education centre until c1983 when sold and converted into a house. The present owner has occupied the house since c1995.
