Coates School
A great deal of restoration work has taken place in Ancoats to save the important buildings and find a way to incorporate them into a  community for the 21st Century but there have been failures.  According to Mark Crinson in his book "Urban Memory", "(for) the Coates School  on Jersey Street, renovations came too late to save the structure and an old stone sign "Coates School 1821" in a new building testifies to the ghostly presence of the past."
