Longlands School

Longlands Secondary School was opened in 1912, and ran until 1990. It unfortunately closed due to a lack of students in the area. As many as 500 students attended at any one time. Many of the students in it's closing transferred to local school, High Park.

After it's closure as a secondary school, the site was purchased by Stourbridge College, and was used as a separate Art's building up until its permanent closure in 2011. In the weeks after its closure previous students were invited back to visit the school, an estimate 1,000 previous students attended, some coming from as fair as Canada and Dubai to say goodbye.

Many plans have been made for redevelopment. Twice now however redevelopment plans have fallen through and during this time the building has been heavily vandalized. Latest plans submitted were for a shared community space and new housing.
