Description: | October 1966.
View of St. Peter's Schoolroom at the junction of Rooms Lane and Victoria Road. Known as the Parish Hall, St. Peter's Schoolroom was built as a Church of England National School in 1834. This soon became full so an additional building for pupils at the other end of town was erected, near the beginning of High Street, in 1839. In 1875 St. Peter's put up another building at the opposite end of the churchyard to this, and this then became a day school proper while the building shown here became the communal hall for church activities. Two of the most common of these, as the posters show, were pantomimes and jumble sales. Straight plays were also produced as well. However, games like dominoes, billiards and snooker took place in the Institute further along Rooms Lane.
