It now seems to have been converted to flats after falling almost derelict.

The wall is the same but everything else is different

Any idea if there was ever a school on school street?

I lived almost opposite it 1947 1958 on Almondbury Bank  At this time it was  a weaving mill.  As children we used to sneak in to watch the looms in operation.
One night it burned down, entirely gutted.  However, it was repaired but shut down a couple of years later.
It stood empty for a long time after that.

Also a large metal cylinder on brick piers, riveted construction.  No idea what it’s purpose was.
I wonder where the fuel (coal?) and other materials came from?

I used to play there in the 1950s. They were long derelict even then.

On that site was the Regal Cinema which WAS demolished to make way for the widening scheme.
I was a regular visitor to the cinema in the 1950s.

At that time it was only a few inches deep and in the process of being buried with waste from a nearby foundry belonging to one “Fred Hardy”  The dumping was illegal and there was some great shindig about it, I don’t know the outcome.
To the South and…Read more
