Abstract: |
In May 2013 Compass Archaeology was commissioned to produce a historic building assessment of Kensington Primary School on behalf of Newham Borough Council. The assessment has been produced in support of a planning application for the redevelopment of the school, including the expansion of the second-floor and other alterations. This assessment has concluded that the majority of the building dates from its original construction in 1900. Many internal features, and the overall layout of the building, have survived. The major exception to this is on the second-floor, where bombing during WWII has caused the loss of rooms to the north, east, and west, plus a large part of the roof. Other major later changes include the construction of the single-storey extension to the south of the building, and the small modern extension to the west of the building. It is concluded that the current proposals for the redevelopment of this school will not have a major impact on the historic integrity of the structure, or on any of the original features within it. Attempts should be made to try to 'fit' any changes made into the current building as successfully as possible, particularly with the new rooms on the second-floor which should be designed in such a way to fit visually with the surviving original parts of this. |
