London Street Board School, Charlestown, Pendleton, Salford

London Street School replaced a group of associated board schools in Charlestown, Pendleton, comprising the Irwell Road and Whit Lane Boys' Schools, the Charlestown Girls' and Infants' Schools, and the Broughton Road Junior Mixed School. In May 1892, the decision was first taken to replace these unsatisfactory buildings with one new school in London Street, Pendleton. However, it was to be almost nine years before the London Street Board School opened, and even then the Irwell Road Board School was retained as the associated senior and junior boys' department. The other schools were closed during 1901.

NEW BOARD SCHOOL AT PENDLETON - FOUNDATION STONE LAVING - On Saturday afternoon the foundation stone of London-street Board School, Charlestown, Pendleton, in process of erection by the Salford School Board, was laid by the Rev. J. McDougall. The London-street School was the thirteenth public elementary school erected the Salford School Board. It was being built to replace the Charlestown School in Halton Street and the Broughton-road School in Rockley Street, the premises of which were not adapted the present requirements of the Education Department. The site of the school contained 6,188 square yards including portions of streets. The school would contain two departments, accommodating respectively 356 girls and 430 infants, making a total of 786. It was intended for the present that the boys belonging this group of schools should, continue to use the Irwell-road School. Both of the departments would contain a schoolroom divided by movable partitions and four classrooms, together with the necessary cloakrooms and room, for teachers. Ample space had been provided for the purpose of assembly and of drill. Provision was made in the girls' department for instruction in cookery. Spacious playgrounds would also be provided. The architect was Mr. Henry Lord, and the work was being carried out by Messrs Bullivant and Sons. The cost of the site was £2 600, and it was estimated that the building, including the furnishing, caretaker's house, and all other expenditure would be £9,200 [Manchester Courier 2 April 1900 page 10]

The school was destroyed by enemy action during World War 2
