Seem to remember it was used as a place for bright kids from the local secondary moderns to go and take O and A levels , the kids who missed out on the chance to transfer to the Grammer and High school at 13 .
this would be mid 50s thru mid 60s, not the place shown in the above message

Where was the Accrington School of Art?
Was in in a separate building of it's own?
It was mentioned in this thread...
http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...rose-4071.html
...and I've seen it mentioned in a few recent obituaries, and on some other sites.
Just re-reading Atarah's post in the linked thread, was the whole of the now demolished building, which I thought of as the Grammar School, once the Accrington School of Art & Craft?
