What is recorded here
Detached multiple-bay double-height gymnasium, c.1937, with single-storey lean-to extension to east. Roughcast rendered concrete walls. uPVC casement windows, fixed lights to east clerestorey and western concrete grid wall. uPVC glazed door. Transverse full-span reinforced concrete roof in nine barrel vaulted sections, approached by external open spiral staircase.
The dramatic profile of this gymnasium roof shows early use of pre-cast concrete trusses. The spiral staircase is reminiscent of German modern movement design and is a particularly striking abstract form.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
