Tendring Adult Education College, St Osyth Road, Clacton-on-Sea :: Shared Description
Built in 1893, this building was St Osyth Road School from 1894 to 1997 and reopened as Tendring Adult Education College in 2002.
The school educated children up to the age of 11 until 1952 and was afterwards an infant school, the children aged seven to 11 transferring to the newly built Alton Park Junior School. All the children and staff of St Osyth Road School moved to the new Oakwood Infants' School off Windsor Avenue in 1997.

The building is just west of the Salvation Army citadel on the corner of Old Road and St Osyth Road. The citadel is marked on OS maps as a church in the south-west corner of grid square TM 1715 (not the church straddling two grid squares).
