Newspaper - LYDIA CHANCELLOR COLLECTION: HUNTLY CENTENARY BELLE OF 1860

Historical information

Although opened by the Church of England in 1857, Huntly was not recognised as beginning until 1860 when it began to receive government funding. In 1862 it became known as a Common School. In the 1870's it was partly destroyed in a wind storm and a brick building was built to replace it. It became a State School between 1873 and 1878 and was renamed Huntly Primary School in 1970.
