A view of the rear of Hannah More Primary School taken from the school’s boundary fence opposite The Barley Mow pub. The faux-Dutch style, ‘stepped’, front elevation on New Kingsley Road is a feature of the older part of the premises. The school is named after Hannah More who was born in Fishponds, Bristol in 1745 and who died in Clifton, Bristol in 1833. She was an evangelical religious writer, a poet, a playwright and a philanthropist who joined other influential individuals of her day in campaigning against the slave trade that Bristol was heavily involved in. The first Hannah More School was built in Old Market, Bristol in the 1840s.
