Opened in 1893, superseding Sowerby Bridge National School.
The school was named for Rev John Ellison.
The building housed 3 separate schools:
Sowerby Bridge Mechanics' Institute on the ground floor;
the infants' and girls' school on the first floor;
the boys' school on the second floor.
In 1932, the boys and the senior girls moved out, leaving the infants
and junior girls.
In 1958, the West Riding County Council announced plans to close the
school, and, despite a fierce campaign by parents and church
officials, the local education committee held firm, but in May 1960,
the committee was overruled by the Ministry of Education and the
school stayed.
In 1971, the school closed and Christ Church Junior School
opened.
It was demolished in 1973.
The steps of the school can still be seen between Beech Road and Tuel
Lane.
