A while since i posted anything thought i better get something up. This place was on leads and rumours quite a few years back and it seems to have been forgotten about. Its the old Simpson Street School a brief history here. The school opened 1 May 1905 as Deptford Terrace Council School, Junior Department, later Deptford Terrace Junior Mixed School. It closed 26 March 1929 and a new school opened on the same site, on 1 April 1929 - Simpson Street Council School, Junior Boys Department. On 11 January 1943 the school amalgamated with the Girls Department to form Simpson Street Council School, Junior Mixed Department, later redesignated a County Primary School, Junior Mixed Department. On 1 January 1958 this school merged with the Infants Department. The school closed 21 July 1967. Not sure what happened after 1967 but it appears its been used as an arts centre in recent years and it looks like that may have closed now. Didnt stay too long inside just a quick visit really its mainly full of arty type stuff.
Drift wood very arty these days.
Nothing too special but it is a new site and one off my list maybe some people local to the area may have a bit more info on its more recent past.
