Surrey’s Old Anniedale School to Begin a New Life
Surrey’s oldest remaining one-room school house has endured a long and sometimes challenging history. Following its life as a pioneer school it has served the community for a variety of uses; it has been relocated and suffered extended periods of vacancy. Now however, this little school is facing a bright new future as it is about to embark on another relocation and a new purpose on the grounds of the Surrey Museum currently undergoing expansion in Cloverdale.
The original Anniedale School opened in 1891 with thirteen pupils and is one of Surrey’s valued heritage structures. As the oldest existing school in the District it is a classic example of early pioneer one-room school houses.
