The Blue School.

This is the Blue House, aka Blue School, in Frome. Blue Schools were charity schools, so called because of the distinctive blue uniform worn by the pupils.
This building originally provided housing for twenty widows and schooling for twenty boys. Its role as a school ended in 1921. It now contains one bedroom flats for seventeen elderly residents.
