About Bocan Community Playgroup
The National Inventory rates Bocan Community Playgroup Regional, one of 8 in Culdaff. Its record dates Bocan Community Playgroup to 1930–1940. 4 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
A simple rural former national school, typical of its type, which has retained its character and its essential architectural details including sash windows and slate roof. Such schools were an important part of the social fabric of rural communities, so its new use as a playgroup is entirely appropriate.

Is Bocan Community Playgroup protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
