Does anyone know what's happening to this? I noticed last time I wandered down mount pleasant that there is some building work going on around that area (opposite the YMCA on Mount Pleasant). I'm hoping they aren't tearing it down, It would make such a renovation project.

Pleasant Street Board School.
Joseph Sharples says:
"Built as the Hibernian Schools in 1818 by the Liverpool Benevolent Society of St Patrick, to provide non-denominational education for children of Irish parents. Originally a simple, two-story brick rectangle, with classrooms and master's house under the same roof. The domestic part, w, survives more or less unaltered, with a columned doorway to May Street. The teaching accommodation was extended and considerably altered from 1851."
