New Wesleyan schools at Blackburn, Lancashire, 1862. Creator: Unknown
New Wesleyan schools at Blackburn, Lancashire, 1862. For several years past the Wesleyan body has made great and praiseworthy efforts in the promotion of education in day and Sunday schools; and the progress which has been made cannot fail to be gratifying to all who are interested in the welfare of the young among the lower classes...[the buildings] consist of a mixed school, and an infants school, with a large classroom to each and a detached house for the master. The style adopted is of the Early Gothic period, from a design by Mr. W. Botterill...; the materials used are red and black stock bricks, with stone dressings...A double wooden partition divides the two schools, which is removable when the whole area is required in one for the Sunday school, &c. The buildings are set a few feet back from the street, and are inclosed by a dwarf wall, surmounted with iron palisading; and there are separate playgrounds at the back. The works were executed by Messrs. Dent and Marshall, of Blackburn, the amount of the contract being about £1800'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862
