East Park school was opened by William Mitchell in response to the Education Act of 1872 which made it compulsory for children between the ages of 5 and 13 years to attend school. The school was founded for all those children that could not access education because of illness, or disability, or family circumstances.

This exhibition explores this long history through a series of never-before-seen photographs.

The East Park 150th Anniversary exhibition is open to the public Monday-Friday from 10am-5pm and Saturdays 10am-4pm.
