Feversham School

Feversham School, Leeds Road, Bradford, UK. This was the the first Higher Grade Board School in the country built by Lockwood and Mawson architects in 1874. I recenty discovered that my mother's cousin's mother was a Mawson and relative of this architect.

I was headteacher of Feversham First School and worked in that building for about ten years. We then moved to a purpose built new building in the grounds of Leeds Road Hospital and I moved on to other things a year or so later.

The building then became Feversham College - a Muslim girls school. I understand they have impressive examination results.

But they too have now moved on and when I visited the old building and got a look round a few weeks ago I found that it is now a hardware store. I bought two mouse traps.
