South West Wing At Former Legat'S School Of Dancing

The South West Wing at the former Legat's School of Dancing is a building constructed in 1903 by J S Hansom, originally designed to provide improved accommodation for the nuns who managed a girls' orphanage. This structure includes an entrance hall, a community room, a store room, eight cells, and a bathroom on the first floor. It is built from red brick with black brick dressings and features a slate roof. The left side has arrow-slit windows and two cambered casements on the lower floors. The right section has buttresses and is two storeys high with attics, featuring five gabled dormers and six cambered sash windows with horns. The right end of the building has two external chimneystacks. The rear elevation mirrors the front but includes a three-light canted bay window on the ground floor left and six cinquefoil-headed windows on the ground floor. The building is connected to the chapel and school by a covered passageway. A 20th-century flat-roofed extension on the left is not considered of special interest.
