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!)

It used to be said that the statue of the Black Prince had been placed in City Square , near the station, pointing South to tell all the southerners who've just got off the train to b****r off back down south!

Thanks Leodian. When I tried posting a tiny url link in the editor I couldn't get it to work.
