Peel Street Board School, Morley

The school was Morley's first Board School, built in 1880. It stands directly over the Leeds-Manchester railway tunnel, so I imagine generations of schoolboys (and a few girls) hearing the rumbling of passing trains and wondering about their destination. Like most such buildings it appears to have been converted to residential use, named Priestley Manor, and has been replaced with Seven Hills Primary School nearby.
