1869 - Mr Ambler has the general superintendence of the schools; he also gives his attention to the shoe-black brigade, employing 10 to 20 boys. Teacher Miss Crampton; master Mr Milnes; schoolmistress Miss Martin. Comments "The girls under detention were lodged, I found, in a building called the Convalescent Home, lent to the Committee by the Board of Guardians temporally; this is to all intents and purposes a separate school, superintended by the matron Miss Land and the schoolmistress Miss Crampton. The house in Springfield Terrace has been given up as a dormitory for girls; but a certain number of boys still sleep there, as the building now used as a lodging house can only accommodate about 70. The managers propose to carry on the ragged school in separate premises, and leave the schoolroom in Edgar Street entirely for the children under detention"
