Abstract: |
Recording of North Prospect School, Plymouth (SX 46032 57110), was undertaken by AC archaeology prior to its demolition. The school opened in 1931 and took pupils from the surrounding North Prospect. This was the first council estate to be constructed in the city and was built during the 1920s and 1930s. The school could accommodate infants and juniors in separate buildings and remained largely unaltered until its closure, the main change being the addition of a new kitchen and dining room. During the Second World War Two air raid shelters were constructed under the school playground. These were of near-identical design, using pre-fabricated concrete panels, and reinforced with an internal steel frame. Graffiti was recorded in both tunnels. |
