II

2. 1912 by T J Bailey. Board school of LCC, similar to Vauxhall Manor School Annexe in Kennington Road. Large, symmetrical building of 7 sections. Main central block of 3 tall storeys, 5 windows, under high pitched, hipped tiled roof with 3 tiny lucarne-like dormers whose swept roofs become spirelets. Flanking 6-storey square towers have corbelled octagonal angle turrets and tall swept slated roofs rising to bell stage with spirelet and vane above. Beyond are 5-storey, 4-bay intermediate sections with parapet fronts; outer bays of 3 tall storeys and attic under shaped gables with scrolled kneelers. Stock brick with dressings of red brick and stone (the latter mainly for gable and parapet copings) and terra-cotta for corbel tables at tower eaves and the larger turret corbels, and for rusticating the wall arcading of central section. Varied window shapes, much wall enrichment; a building of romance and fantasy.
