Hi Josie. This is listed on the British History online site. Certainly seems to be in Hockley, but afraid not much more detail. Viv.

And Smith Street School seems to have replaced the temporary Unett Street Board School, according to this National Archives extract. Viv.

Re: where was this school

Smith st school is shown below on the c 1889 map. the street running accross the top left corner is Hockley St, and the one you can just see at the bottom right corner is Harford St.
