Details
CASTLEFORD METHLEY ROAD SE42NW (south side) 1/5 Castleford Three Lane 10.10.1980 Ends First School - II School. 1939-40, by Oliver Hill, with faience frieze by John Skeaping. Brick, with some faience facing, iron window frames, flat roof. C20 International style. Long double-depth range on curving plan, (the concave side to the south). Single-storey (with appearance of 2-storeys on the southern facade): higher single-storey assembly hall attached at right angles near west end of north side. The south facade of 8 bays, with rounded ends, is horizontally divided by a flat-roofed open canopy to a sun terrace, with continuous fenestration to each classroom below and above this canopy, and at each end the canopy sweeps out on a wide curve, supported by slender columns. Above, the flat roof overhangs the top of the wall, echoing the continuous sweeping line of the sun terrace canopy. The north side, which is the entrance front, is in 2 halves; to the left the convex wall is mostly faced with a deep frieze of green faience with incised deer, and above the frieze runs a continuous band of square windows; the main doorway is to the left of this, near the east end. In the western half fenestration replaces the frieze, and the assembly hall forms a wing at the west end, with large iron- framed windows on both sides. (This hall may be later addition). Interior: a curving axial corridor separates classrooms (and office) on the south side, from cloakrooms, kitchens, etc, on the north side.
