Lenton Times

The building on Church Street is one of the two properties built for the headteachers of the Lenton Church Schools.  Photograph taken in the 1980's.  The building is now part of the Sikh Gurdwara.

At one time the Church Street School operated on two sites.  There was the original building directly opposite the church and the annexe situated on the other side of the railway.  In the 1950s there was a downscaling of operations and classes only used the annexe building.  After the school's eventual closure the annexe building was converted into industrial premises and more recently most of the building demolished to make way for a student accommodation complex.  All that remains of the annexe building is part of the 1896 extension shown in this photograph - this was retained for inclusion in student accommodation block  known as 'Albert Square'.
