Thoresby Street School, built 1903, the School Board's last school, designed by John Bilson, prominent local architect, in a refined Neo-Georgian style. Enlarged post-war. Distinctive tall chimney disguised to look like a campanile. Interesting features include a foundation stone, incised stone lintels proclaiming 'Laundry' & Cookery School', a laundry shoot and an outside school bell (restored 2003 on the original bracket). After 1945, reorganised as Thoresby High School (a secondary technical school), Girls' School, and Juniors & Infants. Now Thoresby Primary School.
