Heeley Bank Community Centre and Adjoining Infant School

A board school, now a community centre and adjoining infant school, was built in 1880 and later altered in the late 20th century. Designed by ER Robson for the Sheffield School Board, the buildings are constructed of coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and slate roofs, and are in a Renaissance Revival style.

The community centre, on the left, is two storeys plus a basement, featuring a 2-window front and 8-window side. It has a plinth, first-floor sillband, shaped coped gables with triangular pediments and a massive rear wall stack with two square flues topped with pediments and linked by a round arch and pierced balustrade. Two ridge and one gable stack are also present. To the right is a symmetrical range with a recessed centre and flanking gabled wings. The infant school, linked by a 20th-century first-floor bridge, is single-storey plus a basement and has a 5-window range. It features shaped coped gables with triangular pediments, a single coped gable stack, and a gabled cross-wing with a large glazing bar cross casement, stone major mullions, and a raised surround. The right return of this wing has a gabled dormer. The basement of the infant school has two unglazed segment-arched openings with keystones. The interior was not inspected.

ER Robson, architect to the London School Board, was employed by the Sheffield School Board between 1879 and 1880 to design several buildings including the School Board Offices, Central Schools, and Firth College. Robson also designed the two board schools and associated infant schools, here and at Brightside.
