These houses have been built on the site of the school that had two classrooms when it was a Cottage Home. Later it became the student's union where dances to live music were held. The folk club attracted some well known folk artists as well as resident singers. Amongst the well known were The Spinners, Ian Campbell Folk Group with the wonderful Dave Swarbrick later of Fairport Convention and the unforgettable Incredible String Band. Bacon and egg butties were available most mornings. There was also a bar and more thrilling were the games of table football that were keenly contested. It was the student hub.
