Machen Primary School
Machen Primary School
Located on the south side of Commercial Road (A468). The school opened in January 1909, replacing the old schools which had not been big enough to accommodate all the local children. A further urgent need for a new school was that the floors of the old junior school had been sinking. It had been built near a pit, and the tunnels to a ventilating shaft ran close by.
