Moreton School - Bushbury Hill

One of two new junior schools to be built this year. The all timber design is similar to the award winning scheme in Blakenhall. The ridge of Bushbury Hill is a finger of open fields with views out into South Staffordshire and Shropshire. The original Bushbury Hill School was built to serve the council estates of Low Hill of the late 1920s and early 1930s. I am told that the school was opened around 1934 by minor royalty.
