Dunbrock School, Tartnakilly Road, Dunbrock, Limavady, Co Londonderry

Dunbrock School is a storey-and-a-half linear school building with an attached teacher's house of the same height at its southern end, built by the Fishmongers Company in the 1830s as part of improvement works to their Irish estate. The architect was James Turnbull. Drawings preserved in the Fishmonger's Hall in London, dated February 1833, are entitled "Plans Elevations and sections of schools with master's house proposed to be built at Dunbrock and Killycor on the Fishmonger's Estate in Ireland" and show a building broadly similar to that which exists today, but without dormers to the master's house and with high windows to each side of the school. The original drawings also show toilets as integral parts of girls' and boys' yards extending behind walls from the school, rather than as the separate unit present now.

The school building is simply finished in harled and whitened walls over a painted black plinth course, with a natural slate roof and cast iron rainwater goods. The main west facade originally had five windows, three of which have been closed by unpainted concrete blocks. To the rear, the school windows are at high level and consist of double four-pane timber casements, with a lean-to tin shed extending at a lower level. The attached teacher's house has been considerably altered and restored, featuring new PVC windows, two dormers at eaves level, new harled and whitened walls on its west facade, a PVC back door and kitchen window, and a barge overhanging the blank south gable. The slates are flush with the north gable of the school and on the southern gable of the house. Landscaping has been improved to the front and back of the house. The bitumac playground and former toilet block to the north are decaying rapidly.

The Ordnance Survey Memoirs of the 1830s described Dunbrock as: "instituted 1833 150 males, 50 females, total 200 supported by the Company of Fishmongers" and noted a Sunday school, "instituted 1833 60 males, 40 females, total 100 supported by the Company of Fishmongers". The National Education Board took over running the school in the 1870s, and it operated as a primary school for a further hundred years before being converted to residential use. Architecturally the building is of minimum interest, but historically it demonstrates the seriousness with which the Fishmongers Company approached its commitment to educate the children of its tenants. However, the building's architectural value has been considerably eroded over the years and it is now not sufficiently preserved to warrant listing.
