LEIGHTON BUZZARD OBSERVER
- June 26th 1883
The New Pulford Schools - The construction of these
schools, on the plot of land adjoining the Recreation
Ground was commenced last week, and it is intended
that the work shall be completed as speedily as possible.
We regret however to hear, that owing to the building
estimates running higher than had been anticipated the
trustees have been compelled very reluctantly to abandon
some portions of the details. It had originally intended
to surmount the buildings with a tower, to line the
inside walls with glazed tiles, and in other minor
matters to contribute to the appearance as well as to
the convenience and health-preserving condition of the
schools; but to do this the trustees require an additional
sum of £120, or thereabouts. It has been suggested that
if the fact were made known, residents in the town who
take an interest in the Pulford Schools - former pupils
and parents of present scholars - might be disposed by
their subscriptions, to assist the trustees to carry
out their work in its entirety according to original
intention. We trust that the hint given will be
sufficient.
