Bolland Hall

Bolland Hall is a school building, now used as a warehouse, constructed in 1860 for Mrs. Bolland, the widow of a curate from Morpeth. The building features light red and cream brick arranged in alternating bands of four courses, with some stone dressings. It has a Lakeland slate roof, complete with a tiled ridge and brick stacks. Designed in the Gothic style, it has a front with five gables and stands two storeys tall with an attic, comprising five bays that are defined by slope-topped, banded buttresses, which are paired on the right. The bays vary slightly in width.

On the ground floor, there is an enlarged square-headed cart entrance located on the right. The central bay features a six-panel door set in a wide, partly-blocked two-centred arched opening with banded brick voussoirs. The other openings are similar but narrower in the second and third bays. Many of the downstairs openings have been partly blocked and the glazing has been altered.

On the upper floor, each arch contains three stepped lancets set in solid panels, although the top left window has been altered. The eaves are interrupted by a gable above each bay, which is stone-coped and topped with a cross finial, and each gable contains an oculus. The eaves gutter is broken, and the end stacks have been lowered. There are also four tie-rod ends visible on the right side under the eaves.

Historically, Bolland Hall was built as a day industrial school for "half-neglected children on the north side of Newgate Street." It later became a National Girls' School and was amalgamated with St James's Church of England Schools in 1885. The building was acquired by the Presbyterians and served as a Mission School and Sunday School until 1937. It is included in the register for its historical interest.
