10. NATIONAL SCHOOL (PICCOLINO'S)
From 2009 until September 2021 this was an Italian restaurant, but it has served several other uses in its time. For many years this building was used for the manufacture of electronics. Built in 1839 its original purpose was a National School. Along with the British Schools of the British and Foreign School Society, these schools provided first near-universal system of elementary education to the children of the poor in England and Wales. Eventually they were absorbed into the state system, either as fully state-run schools or as faith schools funded by the state.
