What is recorded here
Flower Hill National School in Blackcastle Demesne gave even the daylight coloured glass to pass through. A grand schoolroom trick: let the sun come in wearing several colours, then tell the children to stop looking out the window.
Detached five-bay single-storey former national school, built 1887, with brick dressings, decorative timber barge boards, pointed window openings, leaded lights and entrance porch. Now in use as women's refuge. Double-pitched roof, red brick chimney stacks, natural slates, cast-iron ogee gutters, decorative clay ridge tiles, decorative timber barge boards. Rusticated snecked limestone with brick dressings including quoins, eaves course and hooded window surrounds, inscribed granite date stone. Pointed window openings, leaded windows with coloured glass. Cast-iron railings, on low snecked limestone wall to frontage.
