HORSA block, Baltasound Junior High School

HORSA stands for Huts On Raising School-leaving Age and these were temporary building erected in 1948 to extend the school when the school-leaving age was raised to 16 after WW2. The buildings were so temporary they were still used for classes until 1995, and are still used for storage over half a century later.
