Up in London for the weekend, we found ourselves with some time to wander around Clerkenwell before our Migrateful cookery class started, we came across what was once a massive school, the Hugh Myddelton School. Originally opened in 1893, it closed in 1971 and was converted into flats in 1999.

As well as the rather obvious main building, there are plenty of other tell-tale signs pointing back to its history as a school. Firstly the entrance for the SCHOOL KEEPER.

Close to the school are the former premises of the London School's Board (LSB) warehouse, with its own reminders of the building's former purpose.
