Abstract: |
Stoke-on-Trent Archaeology carried out an archaeological building recording at Brownhills High School, Brownhills Road, Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent. The building recording focused on the original school building at the south side of the modern complex. It was constructed from 1927-30 as a girls' secondary grammar school and was one of the first schools to be built in Stoke-on-Trent after the end of the First World War. The building façade was neo-Georgian in style and was of the popular pavilion plan with blocks arranged around a quadrangle divided into two separate courtyards by a central assembly hall. The original school building had both general-purpose classrooms and specialist science laboratories and art rooms, most of which have retained their original functions. Facilities for the original school building were also located within Brownhills Hall, perhaps utilised as a cost saving measure in the hard economic times of the inter-war years. The school was extended to the north of the current building between 1937 and 1950 and to the west between 1950 and 1963. The demolition of Brownhills Hall took place between 1963 and 1974 along with further extensions to the school. |
