What is recorded here

Detached gable-fronted three-bay single-storey school, built c.1950, now vacant. Pitched asphalt roof with cast-iron rainwater goods. Corrugated-iron walls. Square-headed openings with metal casement windows and timber sills. Square-headed door opening with timber battened door, overlight and concrete steps. Rendered walls to front and sides of plot with wrought-iron gate.
This structure was strategically positioned for use by the local rural population and its educational and social importance is highlighted both by its commanding views of the surrounding landscape and by the large plot of land on which it is sited. The use of corrugated-iron as wall cladding adds texture and interest to a building of modest dimensions and materials.
