The old Grimshaw Street School is a grade II listed building (English Heritage Building ID: 392043 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-392043-grimshaw-street-school-lancashire British Listed Buildings) attached to Image Dated 1836 and 1845, with a hall of 1882 to the south. The school contrasts with the church, being constructed in red brick in Flemish bond, with ashlar details and slate roof. The 1836/45 portion is of a classically derived style, typical of the region and period. The centre has a stone plaque at 1st floor inscribed "ERECTED / 1836 / ENLARGED / 1845", and a long upstand on the cornice with raised lettering "GRIMSHAW ST SCHOOL". The added south wing is gothic in contrast, but of matching materials.
