256-260 Tregwilym Road. S Dudley & Sons Ltd are contractors specialising in construction, shopfitting and bespoke architectural aluminium facade products. The buildings were formerly the Rogerstone and Henllis School Board School. Henllis is now spelt Henllys. The Rogerstone and Henllis School Board was established in 1874 under the terms of the Elementary Education Act 1870. School Boards were elected bodies, empowered to levy rates and to set up and maintain schools in areas where voluntary provision was inadequate. The school was built in 1877 and enlarged in 1889. Its capacity was 600 children. A report in 1953 stated that the school buildings and site were ‘very defective’ and that ‘modern accommodation was necessary.’, but it was not until 1976 that a new school elsewhere in Rogerstone allowed the old school to close.
