These gates, at the Abden Street Entrance, are all that remains of the former Radcliffe High School which used to stand on the site. Radcliffe County Secondary School (later to become Radcliffe High School) was founded in 1933 on the former Peel Park Ground near School Street. In 2004, the school merged with the nearby Coney Green Technology College to form the Radcliffe Riverside. The site continued to operate as "The West Campus" until it was closed in the summer of 2010, and it is that name which still stands next to the gate. Demolition of the buildings soon followed the closure, ready for construction of the new special school (Image]) at the School Street end of the site.
