Gone but not forgotten. R.I.P.
This info comes from the National Archives.
Lower Windsor Street Board School opened in 1874 with accommodation for 1034 boys, girls and infants. A workshop was provided in 1893, which was enlarged in 1911. The school was substantially altered and reorganised in 1928 into three departments for senior boys, junior mixed and infants. Further accommodation was provided in the former Windsor Street Temporary Council School which became part of this school in 1931 [see S217]. The Senior Boys Department closed in 1939 and the Junior Mixed and Infants Departments united in 1940. The name of the school was changed in 1954. It closed and the buildings were demolished in 1963. The school was replaced by Vauxhall Gardens Primary School which opened in September 1963 [see S206]
