Amongst the schools we may mention, the Roby schools, in a street leading out of Portland Street. The style is Elizabethan and they were designed by Mr Walters, who has succeeded in producing a very meritorious work. The building is supported upon iron columns, being built over the playground. The lower storey has a series of arches of different sizes, filled with iron-work. Above are lofty bow windows, projecting chimneys and gables; the whole arranged in a very skilful manner. The materials are red brick and stone. [Builder 15 November 1845 page 548]
