Beech House Headingley

[mcdog]

Does anyone know what this old school sign says and to what it might refer? It's at the bottom of the driveway to Beech House on Headingley Lane.

I know the building was a prep school during the 1980s but it was called Beech House School. This sign appears much older and says something like: WIRIESTON SCHOOL.

Any ideas?

Laurieston was a church school opened in Headingly in 1952 by 7th day Adventists.
For more information just google "Laurieston school Leeds" and read the pdf file about the opening of the school -includes a couple of b&w photos.
( I would give the url except it is very long and I haven't quite figured tinyurl yet!)
