Gone, but not forgotten.

This is St Anne's School, I also made an error by saying it was in Cato Street. The school itself was actually in Devon Street which was the next street down the hill on Duddeston Mill Rd. I think it was St Anne's Church that ran through to Cato Street and the Vicarage was opposite on the other side of Cato Street.
