Lancaster Street, named after by Quaker Joseph Lancaster with groups of younger pupils being instructed by a senior pupil. The school was built in 1811. Over 1,200 boys and girls received daily or Sunday schooling in its first year. (Patton) “This institution first originated in 1802, and was then called the “Belfast Sunday School;” its professed object being the communication of instruction to that class of children, whose occupations prevented them from attending school during the week, and also to those, whose parents were unable to pay for their education.” Belfast Street Directory, 1819.
