Description

Sir John Cass College, dated 1899, is a building designed in a modified late 17th century style, attributed to A W Cooksey. It features red brick and Portland stone construction with three main storeys and a basement made of glazed brown brick. The ground floor has round arched windows, while the top storey has small windows beneath a modillion cornice and blocking. The entrance is accessed by steps and is set under an enriched arch, with a balcony above and carving in the niche above that. There is a small polygonal tower on the south side, topped with a stone lantern and a lead-covered dome. The higher corner block extends into India Street and appears to have an extra storey added. The rear of the building is plain, constructed of gault and engineering brick with slight dressings, and there is a large addition to the north.

Local climate

Sir John Cass College sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 95% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 57% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
