Mr R Long was inquiring about the old Hanover Board School in Hanover Terrace, Brighton, (Letters, October 17).

The school began in 1873 as the Hanover Board School. It became the Brighton Secondary Technical School after the Second World War and during the late Seventies served as an annexe of Patcham Fawcett School.

Final closure as a school came in July 1981 and, following a brief period as a centre for the disabled, the 127-year old building was demolished in spring 2000.
