I think They were exactly as the name suggests. Classes held in the evening for people who were working to continue their education.

 If you google there are quite a few parliamentary reports about the, funding etc.

And lots of mentions in newspapers in the 1890s.

I think it's Ludgershall. 

On this 1873 map there is a school on the corner of Butt St and Crown Lane, probably the evening classes were held in the school.

Thanks guys, I presume the location was Rushall or Walsall,physical location of the school is of lesser interest.Family were asking what the place was about,I'm thinking the boy who was about 15 at the time was looking to enter an apprenticeship and needed some brownie points.
