Haughton Green
This school was built as a replacement for the Iron School, which was demolished in 1905, and it stood on the north-west side of Haughton Green Rd at the back of the 'Green'.
It served the dual purpose of providing both day and Sunday schools. The benefactor for the new school was the Revd Arthur Dixon MA (18 Jun 1862-11 Dec 1937) who was the Rector of St Mary's Church
from 1902 until 1906. He contributed £6,000 towards its construction and he also bought a parcel of land behind the school that was large enough for cricket and football grounds.
Subsequently, he became an auxiliary postman attached to Denton Post Office.
During the 1950s the annual amateur pantomimes staged at the school rose to some prominence and it was said that they were of a professional standard.
The school was demolished in 1971 and the site is now occupied by Key Court, which is accessed from Haughton Green Rd via Reid Close. Key Court was so named in honour of local historian, Burley Key, who died in 1984, aged 84 years.
The notice states that a Public Tea Party is to be held in the Old Schools at Haughton Dale. This refers to Haughton Dale Mill School (the Iron School) that the new school replaced. Perhaps this was the last occasion that the Iron School was used and that work on its demolition commenced shortly afterwards.
