Abstract: |
The school was established in c1875 by the Ulverston Local Board and built to the designs of Henry Barber. The building recording revealed five phases of development and alteration within the building, the majority of which could be closely identified in the historic sources and original plans. The earliest of these are the extensions of 1886 and 1892 by local architect James Grundy, but there were also later modifications to the windows and the insertion of suspended ceilings and internal partitions that are clearly much more recent. The building is an architecturally interesting structure with a large number of detailed decorative flourishes, and incorporates some important fixtures such as a surviving folding partition made by John Stones, a local iron founder and manufacturer. It also adds to the body of work known to have been carried out by James Grundy, which includes several important local civic and public buildings, while revealing an example of work carried out by Henry Barber, who is not otherwise recorded in the area. |
