This was the former Licensed Victuallers' School which was built in 1836. Pevsner points out that "A school would never have been so ambitious in its architecture before the 19th century, when higher education for the middle class became important enough for the monumental". The Licensed Victuallers also built almshouses off the Old Kent Road on a monumental scale - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2696889
