Bewerley Street Infant School was the first purpose built school to be built by Leeds School Board and opened its doors to pupils on August 8th, 1873. It boasted classrooms with large, arched windows and behind the high wall, toilets are located. By the 1950s, the school was for juniors (7-11 years), the Infants having moved to a school on Hunslet Hall Road.

Salvaton Army Citadel on Jack Lane pictured in June 1964. Rylstone street is on the left. The Salvation Army was set up in 1865 by William Booth, he began a Christian Mission to help the poor in London's East End. He called his followers a 'Volunteer Army', but to avoid confusion with the armed forces it became the 'Salvation Army' and uniforms and ranks were adopted. Victorians easily recognised the symbolism and many joined 'to do battle with the devil'. Booth died in 1912, by then the Salvation Army had become a recognised force for good.
