This attractive red-brick school in Creed Street, Wolverton, is
usually described as the first Wolverton school. It was altered in
1883 and was used for girls and infants after the new school was
built in 1896. |
|
The LNWR continued to build schools at Wolverton. This is the 1896 Elementary School for Boys, with some 20th century alterations. Of red-brick in Flemish bond, hipped and gabled slate roofs with ornamental tiles, ridges with terracotta finials to the gables, it was built by the LNWR with assistance from The Radcliffe Trust and ‘a few of the townspeople who subscribed to the voluntary rate’. |

| This is a testimony to the railway company’s concern for families of its employees. It is now a grade II listed structure and operates under the name of Wyvern Nursery School. Thanks to the Wolverton Society for Arts and Heritage for these details, and for their work in attaining the listed status. | ||
