Site of the British School for boys and girls, set up by the British & Foreign Schools Society in about 1860, is shown on the 1862-75 map. The building would appear to have continued as a school, as shown on the 1897-1900, 1907-23 and 1929-52 maps. It was then demolished and commercial premises built on the site, as shown on the current O/S map.
