School in Forster Place

The building is a former board school located in Forster Place, likely constructed around 1885 by Richard Adams for the Leeds School Board. It is designed in the Gothic Revival style and features red brick with decorative moulded and cut brickwork, along with stone surrounds for the windows and doors. The school has two storeys facing the road and three storeys at the rear, arranged in a configuration of four bays by two bays. The entrance is positioned to the right and features a moulded stone lintel set in a high pointed arch, with brick patterns in the tympanum. Above the entrance, there are transom and mullion windows with a segmental hoodmoulding that includes brick decoration. The upper floor has gabled bays at positions one and three, which are adorned with high moulded arches filled with patterned brickwork, a moulded eaves cornice, gable copings, and some truncated ridge stacks. The interior has not been inspected. Richard Adams was known for building several large schools in the mid-1880s, and this structure adds to his earlier work, establishing it as a significant local landmark.
