Description:The building on the left of this post card view is Walhouse School. Adjoining it is the teacher's house, built in 1828 by Mrs. Walhouse of Hatherton Hall, in New Penkridge Road, Cannock. Here she educated about 200 children at her own expense. It was a National School by 1851. By 1854 it included an industrial department mainly for the part-time education of boys employed in the brick-yards; this department continued until at least 1860. The school was enlarged in 1898. Additional classrooms were built on the opposite side of the road in 1950. Note the two schoolboys on the pavement. The building is Grade II listed.
