A Thousand Faces:

A Celebration of the Millennium at Gladstone Road Schools

The booklet was published in 2000 as a celebration of Gladstone Road Infant and Junior Schools.

The schools are situated close to the centre of Scarborough and serve an area which was primarily developed during the late nineteenth century to provide homes for those involved in the developing Tourist Industry.

Opened in June 1890 the design was revolutionary at the time. The Scarborough Gazette described it as producing ‘the most satisfactory impression desirable. The rooms are large, lofty and airy….’ Each
room was designed to accommodate between forty and seventy five pupils.

Throughout its history the Infant School as always been an Infant school whereas the Junior School building has been used for both junior and secondary education.
