Springfield Road on the approach to Ulverston Victoria High School. Beyond the limestone rubble wall and the bottom of a telephone distribution pole is a dressed stone wall pillar, marking the Ulverston Victoria High School boundary and almost completely overgrown with ivy. On the other side of this is a low stone wall which supported cast iron railings, removed during the Second World War as the metal was needed for the war effort.

A cycle shed in the yard between the main and ‘S’ blocks of Ulverston Victoria High School has been utilised to create a temporary outdoor washing facility. This is in response to the COVID-19 virus; students are encouraged to wash their hands more frequently to avoid spreading infection. The day was hot and classroom windows have been opened wide for additional ventilation.
