Brierton School’s boys department officially opened in March 1958 with the girls department following in March 1959.
The building then became part of Brierton Comprehensive School in 1973 before its closure in 2009, when existing pupils were then absorbed into other schools.
Most of the building was demolished in 2013 but a small part still remains, including the all weather football pitches.
