| Title | Feversham Street First School |
| Description | This board school was built in 1873 and was commissioned by the Bradford School Board (which was found in 1870) from Lockwood and Mawson. The building has an expensive Gothic Revival style design with Early English details. It is a single storey high and has a long rectangular plan with an asymmetrical front. It is built from sandstone ‘brick’ with ashlar dressings, and has steep pitched slate roofs with finials to the gable ends.
There is a cross wing hall at the northeast end, and two light mullioned windows to the school rooms. The building has an elaborate small scale tower porch, with a colonetted and spired lantern rising on an octagonal shaft from a broached base.
This school later (1876) became the first mixed Higher Elementary Board School in England (English Heritage, 1983). |
