Situated at the junction with Bryan Road, built in 1836 being arranged by the Rev Edward Blick - rector of St Mary's from 1835 until his death on 25-06-1867. The school closed in 1910 with the opening of Redriff Road school some 500 yards east in Rotherhithe Street. One wall bears the mark of the 1928 flood and is 3'-2" from ground level. Main floods of the area were in 1881, 1904, 1928 and 1953 - the 'main' meaning that boats had to be used to get essentials to marooned families. Currently contains a toddlers' group and a security firm. See second image http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1483023
