The County Secondary School, The Close, Warminster 

The building now used as the Youth Club, in the Close, Warminster, was built in 1901 to house the Warminster County Secondary School (also known as the Technical School). It opened on 23 October 1901 with 5 pupils (four boys and one girl). Eustace Dent was appointed the headmaster on 5 February 1902.

The school closed on 29 July 1931. During its last year there were 96 pupils (39 boys and 57 girls).

Up until 1958 this building which had been the school was used as the town library which later moved to Portway House and then in 1981 the new library opened at Three Horseshoes Mall.
