"John Neilson Institution"

The school as an institution moved to a modern building in 1967 to become the John Neilson High School, and the building was last used as a school in 1977. It was listed Category A, in 1 971, which lay vacant, prone to vandals and rot until taken over by a developer. Extensive repairs and conversion works were carried out in 1991-92. The classrooms were divided up to form 12 two and three bedroom maisonettes, with bedrooms below and living rooms above, sharing the tall windows.
The Janitor's House became a one bedroom unit. The building's nick name was the 'Porridge Bowl'. that of the modern day residents. So for taday's Blip I give the JNI.
