New Schools, Harper-Street, New Kent-Road, 1874. 'The London School Board has been doing much good work in Southwark and Lambeth [south London]...[A] large and successful board school recently erected is that in Harper-street, New Kent-road, which belongs to the Lambeth division of the London School Board district. The building, of which Mr. Edis, Fitzroy-square, was the architect, is shown in our Illustration. Its high-pitched roof, large upper windows, and tall chimney-stacks in front have rather an imposing aspect. The central entrance, in the main front, is for the infants; the entrance to the girls' school is at one side, and that to the boys' school is in Ripley-street, on the other side...The Lambeth and Southwark members of the London School Board may fairly be congratulated upon such conspicuous monuments of their zeal for the provision of ample means to discipline and instruct the young Londoners on that side of the Thames. Ten or twenty years hence, let us hope, the world will be all the better for what is now daily taught in these schools'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
