Description

A symmetrical 2-storey depot school of snecked rock-faced Pennant sandstone with freestone banding and cornice, and slate roof behind coped gables on moulded kneelers, with stone stacks to the rear roof slope and in the R-hand end wall. It has a 19-bay front elevation, including 2 higher bays at the ends under advanced gables. The upper storey is slightly recessed behind a balcony, which has iron railings projecting on corbels. The openings, replaced in original openings to the front but retaining some small-pane sash windows to the rear, are paired in each bay. The central bay is a through passage with segmental arches in each storey. To the L and R are 2 equally placed doorways on each side. The 2-bay end gables have recessed doorways to the inner bays under single windows, and outer windows under relieving arches.

The R-hand end wall has a bay window with stack rising from behind the coped parapet. The L-hand end wall has 2 lower-storey and a single upper-storey window. The rear elevation has paired windows to the end gables, under relieving arches in the upper storey. The R-hand gable has an upper storey projection on cast iron columns, while the L-hand gable has a single-storey projection on its R side with single sash to the side walls. Between are 3 equally placed full-height projections with 2 sash windows in the side walls (some blocked), and between them windows similar to the front.
