Framed Print of Movable schools for the Liverpool School Board, 1873. Creator: Unknown
Movable schools for the Liverpool School Board, 1873. One of the difficult problems the Board has had to solve is that of providing accommodation for the lowest class of children, who abound in Liverpool. Some time ago the Board determined to erect in a few places temporary penny schools, as trial schools, before more permanent structures should be erected...it was of great importance to adopt some plan by which they could be readily erected and taken down again, when required to be re-erected elsewhere, without damage and at little cost...the designs chosen were those furnished by Mr. J. Mellard Reade, of the firm of Messrs. Reade and Goodison, architects and civil engineers...the whole is composed of American spruce. The walls are in sections, 10 ft. long by 10 ft. 9 in. high...covered on the outside with inch-thick lap boarding...As the whole is constructed in sections 10 ft. long, the school could be lengthened or shortened by additions or detachments of 10 ft. It is thus capable of adaptation to any site or division into any number of schools...The contract was for £1145. According to the modification adopted, the schools will accommodate 400 children in Love-lane and 300 in Mill-street'. From Illustrated London News, 1873.
