Corn Foundation or Middle Class School was built in Slutwell Lane (now Albert Terrace) in 1860. Red brick with stone dressings in a plain Tudor style. The school closed in 1890, when the building became the new home for Beverley Grammar School until it removed to a new site in Queensgate in 1902. The County Council bought the building and converted it for the headquarters of the East Yorkshire Volunteers. It later passed to the Territorial Army and was generally known as the drill hall. It was given up in 1946 and converted in 1950-1 for the fire service headquarters for the borough. When a new building was opened in New Walkergate in 1983, the premises were converted for a health centre, known as the Old Fire Station Surgery http://www.oldfirestationsurgery.nhs.uk/
