Islington school circa 1900
« on: Thursday 09 September 10 17:43 BST (UK) »
Hi all,

My grandfather William Randall went to a school in Islington from 1895-1904. He lived at 128 Liverpool Road (a grocer's shop).

Can anyone who is familiar with the area suggest which school he most likely attended?

Many, many thanks.

I believe 128 Liverpool Road still is a shop - a convenience store (Kalson), opposite the junction with Richmond Avenue.

I can't tell you which school he'd have gone to, but the Islington Local History Centre may well be able to help.  You might find their Barnsbury brochure of interest:
