Description
The Clock Tower Community Education Centre, built around 1885 by Martin and Chamberlain, was originally constructed as a school. It features red brick and terracotta with minimal stone dressings, topped by a tiled roof adorned with decorative ridge tiles. The building has an asymmetrical design, consisting of one and two storeys across six bays, with a prominent tower in the third bay.
The first bay is No 106, the former master's house, which includes a ground floor canted bay window and a tripartite window on the first floor beneath a half-hipped roof. To the left, there is a gabled entrance bay with a pointed-arched door. The second bay is broad, gabled, and two storeys high, with ground and first floor windows separated by a band of decorative brickwork, set within a shallow pointed arched recess.
The clock tower serves as the main entrance to the school and features two tiers of lancet openings and clock faces beneath gablets that rise into the spire zone, which is topped with lucarnes and a fanciful finial. The fourth and fifth bays each contain broad pointed casement windows within gables that project into the roof. The sixth bay is two-storeyed with a half-hipped roof and predominantly pointed windows, varying in width.
