school — Upper Henry Street

Detached multiple-bay single-storey red brick former national school, built c. 1895, and comprising three gabled breakfronts of varying scale, linked by a lower wing running perpendicular to the former. Multiple accretions to rear. Pitched artificial slate roof with cast-iron rainwater goods on moulded brick eaves. Red brick walls laid in English garden wall bond with carved limestone plinth course. Triple ventilation openings to the apex of each gable with timber louvres. The north gable is the largest, projecting by three bays and having a gauged brick round-arched recessed panel containing a blind oculus over two round-arched window openings with a single carved limestone sill on moulded brick corbels and uPVC windows. Recessed panel is flanked by a pair of gauged brick segmental-arched window openings with sill and windows as above. A moulded brick hood mould spans all three openings. The central gable only just breaks the front and has a tripartite arrangement of a gauged and rubbered round-arched window opening with square profiled brick reveals, flanked on each side by segmental-arched openings of similar detail as above with sill and windows as per north gable and with brick hood mould as above. South gable projects by one bay and has similar fenestration and details. The entrance is located between central and north gables, with a small pediment with cement coping and two slender brick pilasters resting on the impost of two larger pilasters, which form the jambs of a gauged brick round-arched door opening. Replacement hardwood glazed door, side- and overlights, c. 1995. Hard surface front site with soft landscaped verges, and no boundary definition to the road.
