| Title | Hough Lane Centre (formerly known as Bramley Board School) |
| Description | The Hough Lane Centre was formerly known as Bramley Board School, and is now a community centre. It was built in 1877 by Richard Adams. It is built of coursed rock faced gritstone with a stone slate roof, and is in Gothic Revival style. It comprises a single storey three bay central hall range with gabled cross wings. In the central gabled bay there is a carved band with the raised lettering: ‘LEEDS BOARD SCHOOLS’. The original arrangement was a central infants’ entrance and the boys’ and girls’ entrances as far apart as possible. Richard Adams was the architect of Leeds Board Schools from 1873 1886 at a period when there was pressure on the Board to build schools quickly for the rapidly increasing population.
In 2004 ASWYAS undertook an archaeological building recording of the former Bramley Board School prior to its regeneration and development. |
