Full Description

The former South View School on Reform Street, of late 19th century origin. The school was possibly constructed in 1878. It first appears on the 1st edition 6" Ordinance Survey map, where it is listed as a school. The school is U-shaped in plan and is a single storey building of yellow brick with a pitched gabled slate roof. The western elevation has twin tall arch windows with a rose window above. The cross-wings each had twin tall round arch windows and quatrefoil windows. The western cross-wing originally had a bell gable. A plaque on the western cross-wing read "Crowland board school". The building has undergone several extensions and alterations in the 20th century. The school was finally demolished in early 2016. {1}{2}{3}{4}
