School 1896 off Front Street East

[Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)]

Has anyone any info, stories etc. on the school that is labelled on the 1896 map approximately where Hollymount Square is now?

Just noticed it the last time I had the map loaded and when I checked on the next map, revised 1920, the abbreviation 'Sch.' on the 1896 map had been replaced with the abbreviation         'Misn. Rm.' The ordnance survey list of abbreviations shows 'Misn.' = Mission. Nothing for the 'RM.' that I would assume is Room.

I could go to the Woodhorn museum but I'm not desperate, just curious.
