The latest victim of 2009. Princess Anne School.
Built in the former town of Riverside, Princess Anne was built in 1956 and designed by local architects Johnson & McWhinnie.
Another one bites the dust… Maybe not the most important school building, but more local history lost, this time a piece of the history of Riverside.

David_II-- Like the school, have nothing against any Fords, but distain self promoting charlatans.
A bit of nastiness here. My comments are no part of any "battle" I'm waging--nor were they a meant as an offense to your children. It is worth noting, as others have, that I never sat in an air conditioned classroom until I got to University--and I was sitting in schools relatively recently--as recently as the 1990s--so I can appreciate the discomfort of sitting in a hot classroom...been there/done that. Of course thare are examples where climate-control was simply added to an exisiting building--as opposed to a tear-down/rebuild.
The only point I'm trying to make is that all progress is not necessarily a bad thing. I think there is a danger for those who are truly interested in the history of this city if you bemoan every demolition that happens. You become like the boy that cried wolf. After a while no one listens. Replacing this school is a good thing. Let it be.
