Shown on Ordnance Survey Second Edition. The central stone block of the school was designed by John Dobson. It was built 1850-51 as a replacement hall for the Barber Surgeons, whose old hall in the Manors was demolished for Manors Station. From 1851-1857 it housed one of the two rival medical colleges that were formed from the old college at the old Barber Surgeons Hall. In 1857, this college merged with its rival, moving to their building off Neville Street. The Barber Surgeons sold the building for St Pauls' Church of England School in 1862.

Bandstand
SITEDESC
Shown on 2nd edition Ordnance Survey map. The bandstand was built by Smith & Co. of Glasgow for £150. As part of a Heritage Lottery Fund Restoration of the park in 2002-2004, the bandstand has been recreated from Smith & Co's receipts and sales catalogues. Parts of the original bandstand and statuary are said to have been buried behind the park warden's house - an area now levelled with silt from the lake. The Bandstand in Leazes Park is a 2003 reconstruction of the original nineteenth century bandstand. It is a faithful reconstruction based on photographs of the original structure. The ten sided structure is painted green and gold and has 10 iron columns rising from a stone flagged base. The columns are linked by ornate iron grills which rise to a height of approximately 1 metre. There are elaborate supports at the top of the columns upon which there is a crown domed roof, the flat underside of which is decorated.

School
SITEDESC
Shown on 2nd edition Ordnance Survey map as a school. Presumed to be the same building later known as St. Philip's Church Hall which stood at the junction of Worley and Longley Streets. The church hall opened as the Imperial Cinema on 10 August 1908. It was managed by a Mr Tiplady. It February 1910 it became Prince's Picture Hall. On 17 October 1910 it was reopened by Carl Aarstaf as St. Philip's Hall. In 1911 it was known as the Cosy and was licenced to James Eadlington. In May 1912 a new gallery was added and the cinema became the Stanhope Grand. From March 1913 Joseph Broughton and William Revell Marshall were in charge. They installed a new projection box in June 1914 and reseated the hall with tip-up chairs in 1919. The Stanhope Grand was last licenced in February 1930 when it had 604 seats. It closed before February 1931 because the church wanted its hall back. The building reverted to use as a church hall, with the paybox being used as a broom cupboard. It was demolished around 1969.
