The school, on the apex of Water Street, opened in 1867 and ran until 1942. Pupils, who originally came from all over Wales, lodged in the town and were expected to provide their own books. The premises consisted of one room only. (I'm informed that boys from the Welsh settlement in Patagonia were also sent here at the end of the 19thC.)
