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.
