The foundation stone for Frenches school was layed in 1905 and even though it was built after the turn of the century the buildings carry the echoes of a Victorian Ideal.
The school was probably built as an infants school to educate local children. At some point in its life its role changed to become a secondary school, teaching subjects like Home Economics, Needlework and Design Technology.
At some point during the late 80's or early 90's it was decided that the buildings were no longer suited for modern education and the school closed.
Despite the modernisation that has gone on many features remain. There are separate entrances for boys and girls fenced of by spiked Iron railings and ornate cherubs adorn the brickwork.
The buildings were recently sold to a developer. The buildings will most likely be converted beyond recognition or demolished.
