Title
The old Ricardo Street School
Description
The old Ricardo Street School, which had been built by the London School Board and opened on 1 June 1874, stands alone in bomb damaged streets. It stood on the corner of Kerbey Street and Ricardo Street. This view is looking north along Kerbey Street and across the ruins of Chilcot Street. Rebuilt in 1913/14 to accommodate 1,152 children in three departments, it received a direct hit on 1 November 1940, when a bomb seriously damaged the eastern end. Although temporary repairs were carried out, further war damage was suffered in 1944. A new school was built on the site in the 1950s. A horse and cart is on the road, and in the background more vehicles and pedestrians can be seen.
