Infant school first depicted on the 1892 25 inch OS map and probably a school board building. The first edition OS map of 1854 appears to show buildings, as does the Fairbanks map of 1795. Although their nature is not recorded, they may possibly be farm buildings. Brightside is first mentioned in 1178 as 'Brekesherth', probably an Old English name combined with hearth (Smith 1961, 209; Hey 1998, 9). Probably on the edge of the historical core of Brightside. No legibility of earlier character types.
