vox Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I took these yesterday. They're the 2 buildings which "seem to be" part of St Vincent's Church, Solly Street. Completely beyond repair by the look of them. The church it's self is part of the St Vincents regeneration Scheme but I can't find any mention of these others, either what they were or if/when they're going. From the lower car park on Solly Street From the upper car park, facing away from Hollis Croft. From Solly Street. Edit: And to put them into context. Google Streetview from Hollis Croft. .

We seem to have the same things in common, I took a lot of these photographs about 4 years ago but it has broken down a lot more since then. Have you noticed on your first pictures , although the building is empty and broken down there is still an outside light on? Who's paying the bill?

ukelele lady Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Some of my friends use to go to St Vincents school and when it was the Easter service at the Catholic church I was dragged along to that too. I bought the St Vincents book 2 years ago which was on sale in local shops, it tells you which each building was used for. This is at the back of the church and at the left hand side there use to be a path that led straight down to Scotland street. This was the boys school built in 1863 St Vincents Presbytery. Solly Street Built 1878 Priests moved from 142 Broad Lane to these new premises. St Vincents House . Had a few Christmas parties in here. St Vincents. Not forgetting the pub on Solly street.

vox Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 Still don't see what the brick part is UkeLass. I can see the Presbytery and St Vincents House further up Solly Street Is it, like Dunsby said, part of the school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vox Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 A more on-topic overlay. Top = 1902 OS map; bottom = 2008 Google Earth satellite view; middle = overlay. So it clearly marks the 2 buildings to the left of the church (the stone one and the brick one) as Schools plural. If one is St Vincent's Roman Catholic School, what's the other? And which is which?

ukelele lady Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Talking to an old St Vincents pupil last night, he told me one was the girls school and one were the boys school. The picture of mine shows the St Vincent's youth club. Here's a map that might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asteener1867 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 If I recall correctly, there was a top playground, then down the steps to the bottom playground....I'm going back to the 60's... I don't recall a boys/girls/school...I remember the playgrounds being seperated by age groups..but could be wrong, it may have been by gender. I can barely remember the teachers....Think the headmistress was a Sister Catherine, might have been Sister Margaret..and recall a Priest...Brother Smith... A Mr Hosty (sp) was a maths teacher... I think thats about the depths my memory will go...except that it was a strict but fair upbringing....then off to St Pauls..which I thoroughly hated for the most part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
