Description

Allensbank Primary School, Juniors, is a two-storey building constructed from Newbridge sandstone rubble in thin courses, featuring Bath stone dressings and Welsh slate roofs, although some of the brick chimney stacks have been removed. Designed in the Flemish-Elizabethan style, the school has a balanced five-bay elevation facing the street, with the first and fifth bays set back. The second and fourth bays are adorned with shaped Flemish gables. Each bay contains a 4-light window on both floors; the ground floor window in the central bay has wider side mullions that create a 2-light window with sidelights, while the upper window is topped with an elliptical arch featuring stepped lights. The upper windows in bays two and four have moulded tympana and a circular vent above in the gables. Most windows retain their small panes, and the lower lights have 2 over 2 pane sashes. The roofs of bays one and five are hipped. The right return elevation showcases double gables with roundels, where the front gable has small windows on both floors, and the rear gable features a 4-light window on each floor, consistent with the front. The left return has one shaped gable with separate entrances for boys and girls, each with shell hoods, and an additional projecting single bay wing with single light windows. There is a paired brick stack with a central opening on this wing, along with an additional stack at the rear. The rear elevation has not been seen. The interior has not been observed during the resurvey.
