It does seem odd if the old Grammar School building was once given over exclusively to arts and crafts. Though neighbouring Blackburn had a similarly grand art school building, which as you say was primarily a place to train people for the once flourishing textile industry.

I attended the "old Grammar School" on Blackburn Rd, when it was used as an annex for Accy Tech (Sandy Lane) evening classes 70/72, when it stopped (year) being the Boys Grammar school no idea , thought it was purpose built for that .
