Former Church of England Free Evening School, now in use as the Louth and District Royal British Legion Headquarters. A one and a half storey red brick building in Flemish Bond, under a pitched gabled roof of slate. The front elevation has a pedimented parapet gable, supported by narrow brick pillars at the corners. The tympanum contains a blocked ocular window with polychromatic brick surround. Dentil course below eaves and tympanum. Two large sash windows with polychromatic brick headers. Door surround decorated with pillars with polychromatic brickwork and dentil course. Two lateral stacks. {1} Constructed in 1863 to house the Free Evening School, formerly on Lee Street, at a cost of £1000. By 1868 90 adults and 140 youths were being educated there. Its library, free to the local community, had over 400 volumes. The building can be seen on the 1:500 town plan of Louth, surveyed in 1888 and published the next year. The school closed at some point in the 1880s, and was subsequently used as a drill hall. From around 1910 it was converted into an early cinema. In 1946 the Royal British Legion purchased the building for use as a local headquarters. {2}{3}{4}
