The Maxse Road school was built around 1900 in typical Bristol Board style. It is a fine example of many architectural details, ranging from Queen Anne to Roman, and was in use for around a century. However, the 'Baby Boomer' generation faded and the school was converted into residential flats. This shot is taken from the old playground area. See Image] for another view, and Image] for the memorial placed near the flats' entrance.
