Description

The Teaching Centre at Henry Box School is a former police station, built in 1860 by William Wilkinson. It features squared and coursed limestone with ashlar dressings and a hipped Welsh slate roof, complete with stone end and ridge stacks. The building is designed in an H-plan layout with a main block and a range to the rear right, showcasing a Tudor style with French influences.

The structure has two storeys and a four-window range arranged in a 1:2:1 pattern. The central range has a gabled centre that includes two stone pointed-arched tripartite windows with sashes above a three-bay arcade. Inside the arcade are two plank doors and a three-light stone-mullioned and transomed window, all featuring pointed-arched heads. There are also plank doors leading to a carriage entry on the left side. The front of the side wings has similar windows along with one-light ground-floor windows and a string course.

The rear range, constructed from similar materials, is a one-storey section with a three-window range that includes two plank doors set in stop-chamfered architraves and stone-mullioned and transomed windows. Inside, the stairs to the left have chamfered newels and balusters.
