Two Gates Ragged School Cradley was opened in June 1867, 100 years after the birth of John Pounds of Portsmouth, the founder of the Ragged School movement.
A brief history of this Ragged School is available for download here (image left). You will need "pdf reader" software to read it once downloaded, one of which may already be installed on your computer. If not, there are many to choose from, mostly free to download and use, for example, PDF-XChange Viewer.
As the brief history document mentions, there is a fuller history of Two Gates Ragged School, written by Barry Willetts and available price £5 from the Cradley Links bookshop.
