This is Ingram Road Primary School, seen from Brown Lane by the corner with Rydall Place, which was built in 1904. Ingram Road itself is at the far end of the school.

The school is pictured in 1990 shortly before it was to be demolished; some of the school buildings around the back had already been pulled down before 1986.

A brand new Ingram Road Primary School was to be built on the site.

Two stone panels were rescued from the demolition and incorporated into the brick wall surrounding the new school, pictured in 2004.

The main image is one of the 'most talked' about on photographic archive Leodis, which is run by Leeds Library & Information Service. They also run heritage blog The Secret Library Leeds, which provides a behind the scenes look at the Central Library and highlights from its special collections, including rare books hidden away in the stacks.
