St Johns College Of Further Education

St John's College of Further Education is a school building, now serving as a college, constructed in the late 19th century and altered since. It is made of stock brick with red brick and sandstone dressings, featuring a flat roof that is concealed. The building has a roughly T-shaped plan, with the main block running parallel to the street and a large rear wing that nearly spans the entire width of the site. The architectural style is eclectic, incorporating some features reminiscent of 17th-century Renaissance design.

The structure is three storeys high and consists of five bays, with two windows per bay. The design is symmetrical, with the central bay slightly projecting. It includes red brick pilasters that are banded at the top floor, a moulded brick cornice that is interrupted in the centre, and a high parapet with banded piers and iron railings. The parapet is also interrupted in the middle by a rectangular upstand that features a blind keyed oculus beneath an open pediment.

The windows are pairs of tall casement cross-windows with small panes in the top lights. The ground floor windows are square-headed, the first-floor windows are segmental-headed, and the second-floor windows are square-headed with segmental relieving arches. Some of the piers of the parapet also serve as chimneys. The flat roof was previously used as a playground for the school. Entrances are located at the sides of the rear of the building. The sides and rear exhibit less regular window arrangements, including a gabled re-entrant in the centre of the rear wall that features large tripartite windows, with the top floor window adorned with a tympanum above the centre light. The interior has not been inspected.
