Queen's School I

The Queen's School stands by the city walls, but was originally at '100 Watergate Flags' - now the corner of City Walls Road and Watergate Street. It soon became necessary to move to somewhere larger, and the Duke of Westminster donated the current site and £500 towards building costs. The new building was designed by E. A. Ould, a pupil of John Douglas, and is made from red brick in Tudor Gothic style, with terracotta stonework from Ruabon. I am told that there is a  terracotta appreciation society who pay regular visits to admire the brickwork.
