The Kingston upon Hull School Board was constituted under the Act in 1871 and built 37 new schools during its short life which ended in 1902. One of a handful of board schools built independently of the Hull School Board was this one: St. George's Road Board School (now St. George's Primary), which was built in 1881 by Newington School Board. I presume it has been threatened with closure as there were 'Save Our School' banners hanging from the building last summer but so far it seems to have escaped the axe. Seen here looking north from the corner of Arthur Street.
