Corston, Somerset, The Schools, 1910
Corston, Somerset, The Schools, 1910. Corston is a small village in Somerset to the west of Bath. The Schoolhouse is now a private house, shielded from public view by bushes and trees. I can find no reference on Google to it ever being a school, but the postcard does not lie. This postcard was published by Young & Co of Teddington in 1910.

Wonderful pc.
ReplyDeleteWonderful that the building is still standing - I wonder what happened to the little scholars.
ReplyDeleteMy how the bushes have grown! The building is so lovely that I'm wondering why someone hasn't cut the bushes back.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Wendy, those bushes could be a little smaller. May be we should make use of the link on the Google screenshot: Report a problem :)
ReplyDeleteI thought Corston was a place in Midsomer Murders until I checked it out (Causton). This photo is much more interesting; a fine old building even then.
ReplyDeleteIt is great that the building was converted instead of being destroyed.
ReplyDeleteThis must have been a challenge to find on Streetview if there was no history of the school. Is there a dedication date above the door?
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame the present day owners don't cut the bushes back. This is a lovely old building that deserves to be seen.
ReplyDeleteYour posts are always interesting. I never tire of looking at the old buildings. They have so much character and charm compared to modern day buildings.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is so neat! The house next to my grandparents used to be a church ... with a bit of remodeling old schools and churches must be fun homes.
