Originally built in 1824 as part of an industrial school established by William Allen, the quaker industrialist and social reformer, specifically for the labouring poor to become artisans. It closed in 1881 largely as a result of educational restructuring in the area with the original school buildings demolished to make way for a couple of town houses. These dormitories and workshops survived and were converted into cottages in 1894.
