Cobridge School:

Sneyd Street appears on the 1775 William Yates map of Staffordshire. In the 1680s there were only three or four small houses at Cobridge but by the mid 1770s a distinct settlement had come into existence in the vicinity of the cross road formed by Sneyd Street, Grange Street and Elder Road.
