Administrative / biographical background:

This school, also known as the Ragged School and the Certified Industrial School, originated in 1858 when the Vicar of S. Paul's collected about a hundred vagrant or orphaned children and provided a school for them. New premises were opened in Brook Street in 1866. In 1868 places were made available for children from the rest of the county. The school continued to provide care, education and industrial training for neglected children until the 1920s C.S.
