St. Vincent's Roman Catholic school was opened in 1896 by the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul on a site adjoining Littleberries, replacing St. Michael's school. (fn. 47) St. Vincent's contained one room for junior boys and girls and another for infants. (fn. 48) There were 62 pupils in 1898 (fn. 49) and 137 by 1938. In 1969 the school contained junior mixed and infants' departments, and was separate from the adjoining boarding school, which was founded by the sisters as an orphanage in 1887 and catered in 1969 for 80 deprived boys and girls. (fn. 50) There were 242 juniors and infants on the roll in 1974.

I was at St Vincents from approx 1966 to 1973. I visited the site recently and found new flats that had been built there. There is still one of the old buildings there where the nuns are either living or working out of. They had some archive photo's of me and my brother and many more so if you decide to take a trip you will probably be able to get more info. I did take some photo's of what's left which may be of use to you
