Building    From 1908  To 2005

Laburnum Street School

Categories: Children, Education

A primary school, demolished to make way for the Bridge Academy. Our photo shows a 2014 reunion taking place in the school hall. We believe the building appears (in the distance) in a photo on Spitalfields Life; third photo down.

Ex-pupil Brian Longman has written the history of the school and it is published in 'Hackney History' vol. 18 (2014), not available on-line.
