pointed arched recesses.

bell turret with swept pyramidal spire and finial, with small
gabled lucarnes. Central gable with 3-light window, flanked by
two 2-light stone mullioned casements. Beyond, projecting
cross-wing gables with 4-light windows with cusped heads.
Central block has a double gable with two 3-light windows
flanked by 2-light mullioned casements. Beyond, slightly
projecting cross-wing gables with 4-light windows.
Right block has 4 coped brick ridge stacks. In the centre, two

INTERIOR not inspected.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: outside, attached stone boundary wall to
house and school, with square stone piers and cross gabled
ashlar caps. Parkside Road range has spiked wrought-iron
railing on chamfered stone plinth and 4 pairs of gate piers
with matching gates. Higher range to Middlewood Road has
gabled stone coping and rounded corner. Catch Bar Lane range
has central double gateway and smaller gateway to right. Wall
to right has gabled coping. To left, higher section of wall
with stepped slab coping and adjoining outbuildings with
hipped and lean-to roofs.
HISTORICAL NOTE: this building has considerable similarities
in design and layout to the junior schools built by the
Sheffield School Board during the preceding 10 years, perhaps
because illustrations of them were published by the
architects, Innocent & Brown, in 1874.
