Description: | April 1968.
View of St. Mary's-in-the-Wood Church Sunday School building on Commercial Street, opposite Morley Library. It was built between 1898 and 1900 and celebrated the centenary of its opening in February 2000. The iron gates and railings were removed during the Second World War when part of the building was also used as an A.R.P. (Air Raid Precautions) Centre. It is built on the site of the Old Chapel Parsonage which faced on to Back Lane (now Commercial Street) at the head of a long narrow strip of land called Longcroft. The parsonage occupied the site for over 200 years. At the time of this photograph the members of St. Mary's congregation used the right hand section, and Wakefield Tutorial School the left hand part. In September 1906 Morley Secondary School - later Morley Grammar, then Morley High School - started its lessons in this building.
