Abstract:		 This Historic building record was commissioned by Bilfinger GVA in advance of the development of a new health centre at St Clare, Penzance. Conditional planning permission for the demolition of an existing non-listed swimming pool building and the Grade II listed Quadrangle building in order to erect a new healthcare building (application number PA16/08512) has now been granted. Condition 4 of the planning permission required a programme of archaeological work to be undertaken which included a historic building record to be made of the Quadrangle and Link building. The historic building record (equivalent to a Historic England level 3 building survey) has been undertaken as a mitigation measure for the impacts of the demolition on a major part of the listed building. The Quadrangle and Link building at St Clare's are later extensions of York House, an early 19th century Grade II listed building, located on the north-west side of Penzance at NGR SW 46688 30760 (Figs 1 and 2). As adjoining buildings the later extensions form part of the Grade II house. The Quadrangle was built in 1938 as new classrooms and an assembly hall when the site was occupied by West Cornwall College for Girls, and is significant as an early example of a Modernist school building. The Link building is likely to have been constructed in the 1980s by Penwith District Council who acquired the site in 1974. The recording work of the Quadrangle has revealed that the majority of the school building retains its original features and fittings internally with some alteration made during the course of Council ownership.
