Description:Classroom interior at Boothen Church of England School on the corner of London Road and All Saints Road, Stoke on Trent. Note the gas lighting

Founded in 1859 as Boothen National Schools it originally occupied the shell of three cottages. In 1870 a new school-church building was built, with a new wing added five years later. It ceased to be used as a church in 1877. A new infants school was added in 1902. The infants and junior schools were reorganised to form Boothen CE School in 1932. The school closed in 2004, stood derelict for some years but has now been demolished to make way for housing development.
