What is recorded here

This green commemorative plaque records: This building was erected in 1818 as the Clifton Club Rooms. It was sold in 1851 as schoolrooms for children of the industrial classes. The Clifton Club moved into Clifton Hotel and Assembly Rooms in The Mall where they remain to this day. In 1965 the Christchurch Schools relocated to Royal Park, and this building became the library for Clifton Recorded plaque organisation: The Clifton Club, Clifton and Hotwells Improvement Society.
This building served as the Clifton Club Rooms from 1818 until 1851 when it was repurposed as schoolrooms for working-class children; since 1965, it has functioned as the Clifton Library.
