Stone-built portico of St Georges School

The stone-built portico of St George's School in Tyldesley dates back to 1829, with alterations made in 1858. It features dressed stone and a slate roof, presenting a plain symmetrical seven-bay, two-storey layout, with two additional bays added to the right later in the century. The design is in the Gothick style. The doors in the first and seventh bays are set beneath pointed arches, with the latter bay now blocked. Each bay on both floors has a Y-tracery window, and the two-bay addition is styled similarly. A central plaque notes: “TYLDESLEY CHURCH SCHOOLS/ MDCCCXXIX/ REBUILT AND ENLARGED/ MDCCCLVIII”. The structure includes a projecting plinth, a coved cornice, and a hipped roof behind a blocking course. The rear elevation is similar but lacks tracery in the windows and is partly obscured by later brick extensions and a flying corridor at the first-floor level.
