What is recorded here

End-of-terrace four-bay two-storey school, with slightly advanced end bays, built 1878. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Rendered walls with name plaque to centre of façade. Segmental-arch window openings to central bays and square-headed to upper end bays, all with replacement uPVC windows and stone sills. Replacement timber panelled doors to end bays, with cobweb fanlights.
This national school is of an interesting architectural design, and retains some of the original external features, such as the carved plaque and slate roof. The regular form of this building is enlivened by the decorative fanlights and segmental-arch window openings. This building has played an important role in the social history and development of the town, and the two entrance doors are interesting reminders of the separate school rooms that were employed for girls and boys.
