Victoria School sunset

This wonderful-looking chimney is part of Victoria School in Newhaven. In recent years the school has suffered from falling school rolls - the result of changing demographics in parts of the city - and for a while it looked like it might have to close. Fortunately there's been a reprieve, though the problem of old, drafty school buildings that are too expensive for their small pupil count is one that remains a sticky (political) issue throughout the city.
