Disused school building, Moat Street

Built in 1856 for an expanding National School, it became a Board School in the 1870s and was enlarged to accommodate 600 pupils (Bulmer's Directory 1901 http://www.stevebulman.f9.co.uk/cumbria/1901/brampton1901_f.html ). In the earlier 20th century it was a through school, with children starting as infants and leaving at about 14. When Brampton Junior School moved to new buildings nearby in around 1960, the Infant School remained at Moat Street. In 2008 the two schools were merged, and this site was vacated shortly afterwards.
