An Infant School of simple, rectangular plan is shown on the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey map of 1898, but not on the 1st edition surveyed c.1855. Its position appears to be at the east end of Harras Bank, west of the entrance to Birtley Hall drive. The building also appears on subsequent editions of the Ordnance Survey plan, but is not named, suggesting that its use may have changed.
