The Beneficial School, Kent Street, Portsea - Portsmouth, City of (UA)
Charity school of 1784 and 1836, now in use as a dance-drama school/theatre. A Condition Survey has been completed which has identified problems with the roof structure and windows. The governance of the building needs to be rationalised, so that a comprehensive funding package for the necessary repairs can be sought, and the repairs undertaken.
