SOUTH SHORE BLACKPOOL. -Wayman Memorial Congregational School was opened on Wednesday. It has been erected and furnished at a cost of £2,000. Owing to the smallness of the site and the difficulty of obtaining light on three sides, the school is three stories in height, and the Luxfer Prism Syndicate's patent prismatic canopies have been used. The men's clubroom occupies the greater part of the basement. On the ground floor are nine classrooms, four of which may be thrown into one by means of swivel partitions, giving a room 48 feet by 15 feet. On this floor are also the ladies' lavatories and the secretary’s office. The upper floor is entirely occupied by the assembly‑room, capable of seating 400 persons. Two more classrooms have been built over the present church vestries. The building is heated throughout by low‑pressure hot water. The whole of the lighting is by electricity. The contractors for brickwork, masonry, and joinery, are Messrs W. Eaves and Co. Ltd. and slating and plastering, Mr W Ward. The architects are Messrs Herbert Wade and W H Walton, of Birley Street, Blackpool.
