In 1767, at the age of ten, Blake was sent to Mr. Pars' drawing school, where he stayed for four years copying plaster-casts. Pars' drawing school was located on the North Side of the Strand in Castle Court.

The address no longer exists as the court was demolished in Regency times. The school stood on what is now the site of Agar Street and King William Street (see photograph).
