TQ3179 COLNBROOK STREET 636-1/4/871 (West side) Colnbrook Street Schools
GV II
National schools. 1870-1874. Probably by a Mr Hall. The stone dressings were renewed at about the time the Church of St Jude, St George's Road (qv) was rebuilt, c1898. MATERIALS: brick in Flemish bond with stone dressings; roof covering concealed by parapet. EXTERIOR: gable-facing elevation of 2 storeys and 2-window range in Gothic Revival style. First-floor level entrance at south corner reached up flight of stairs and set in a gabled porch; second entrance below. Ground-floor windows are mullioned with 4 and 6 lights respectively; Perpendicular tracery to 4-light first-floor hall windows, which have mullions and one transom each. Between these is a wall shaft rising to a bell cote. The facing gable is crowstepped, and forms a strong group with the pair of east-facing gables to St Jude's Church in St George's Road (qv). 2-storey, flat-roofed addition to the south dates to 1902-3; the Modern style addition to the north was opened in 1966. Neither is of architectural interest. INTERIOR: not inspected. HISTORICAL NOTE: the first St Jude's School was a makeshift structure built c1850 soon after the former Philanthropic Society Chapel was sold to the Anglican Church. It was given its present character in 1870-74, when the chapel, now St Jude's Church (qv), was reoriented. The identity of the original architect has not been recorded, but it is likely that the work was completed by a Mr Hall, perhaps Henry Hall architect to the Deptford School Board.
