Description

Nos. 1-4 Leaside Walk is a former Sunday School, built between 1858 and 1859 and extended in 1884. The building is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with ashlar limestone dressings and features a moulded band. It has a Welsh slate roof with gable parapets and a moulded eaves cornice supported on projecting square corbel blocks.

The structure is two storeys high and has a shallow T-plan, with a central projection and a right-hand wing that forms the 1884 extension. There are four windows, with a central gabled projection that has three blank semicircular arched recesses. The windows are designed in a Romanesque style, featuring semicircular arched ashlar heads linked by small arches above moulded imposts, with ashlar reveals and quoin surrounds. All windows have modern lattice glazing in stained timber subframes.

On the ground floor, there were originally three similar windows, but the centre has been rebuilt to form a door. The original entrance doors remain at the extreme left and right, featuring chamfered ashlar surrounds and shouldered lintels. The central entrance door, created in 1884, was removed during the conversion to residential units in the early 1980s. This Sunday School was built at the same time as the rebuilding of the church and was funded by the maltster Joseph Chuck. The building is included for its group value with the Leaside Church.
