Former Mount Road School


The former Tweedmouth National Schools on Mount Road was built in 1868, replacing an earlier school on the site.[1] The original school was established by Rev. John Leach, perpetual curate of Tweedmouth. Collections by public subscriptions for this school in Tweedmouth and another at Ancroft began in 1826. The school here opened in c.1830. By 1846, the school was attended by 84 boys and 50 girls, though only having one schoolroom at that time, later having two. There was a hand water pump in the school yard. By the 1860s the building was in a poor condition and funds were raised to rebuild it in 1868, including a grant from the National Society for Promoting Religious Education. The present building, incorporating separate boys and girls schools, opened on the 11th January 1869.[2] The former school building is now converted for residential use.
