What a lovely building that was and, so well built it could have lasted 200 years

I was not previously aware of this school housed in such a magnificent building.
Where was the school in relation to Field Terrace?
Let's not forget the act of vandalism that reduced the beautiful JGS building to rubble.

I attended Belsfield when it was the Girls Catholic Central School, in 1959 we were all transferred to the newly built St. Joseph's Grammar School and Belsfield became St. Bede's boy's school.
