I was passing the old Poulton Primary School on Rostherne Avenue this afternoon. It seems that it is being prepared for demolition. One of the workers there let me have a look around inside (after giving me a hard hat!) All the fittings worth anything have now been removed and some of the floors have gone.
It appears that all the pitch pine beams/joists are destined for China while the brick "Junior Boys", "Junior Girls", "Senior Boys" & "Senior Girls signs over the entrances are going to Boston, USA to be incorporated into a new building.
Nice to think that a bit of old Wallasey will live on in the New World!

Hi Gysyjune. Yes I did take some photos on my 'phone. Here they are: This is the lower hall taken from the nursery end. The lovely wood block floor has already been removed for re-sale. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.g4bkf.co.uk/pics/image1.jpg) Taken from the same place as the one above but a quarter turn left. This room was the reception class at the time the school closed. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.g4bkf.co.uk/pics/image2.jpg) The Nursery ![[Linked Image]](http://www.g4bkf.co.uk/pics/image3.jpg) Looking into the Headmaster's room. The wooden floor has already gone (most of the recoverable beams/joists are going to China) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.g4bkf.co.uk/pics/image5a.jpg) Looking down through the floor of the Headmaster's room into the school office ![[Linked Image]](http://www.g4bkf.co.uk/pics/image4.jpg)

Cant believe this is going. It has so much potential. I thought it was going to be turned into flats?
