The rectangular part was taken from Heckmondwike Town Schools, which were erected on the green in 1809 and demolished in 1875, when this, the Victoria Infants' School, was built. The Latin text, in italics at the bottom, has been translated as: “Let nothing base be said or done in the place where there is a child”.
