Photo-lithograph illustration, believed to be from 'The Builder' magazine, showing Alma Road School on Alma Road, St Albans with children on the pavement outside the school. This building is still standing, though it is no longer used as a school. The Alma Road girls and infants school was built in 1882, and enlarged 1890. The board schools in St Albans were all built around the end of the nineteenth century following two acts of parliament in 1870 and 1876 which established the prinicples of universal compulsory education for all children until the age of 12. They also included Bernard's Heath School, Hatfield Road School, Camp School and Garden Fields School on Catherine Street (now the Jubilee Centre).
