Abstract: |
In May 2010 an historic building assessment was made of the former St John's C of E School, 1A Pemberton Gardens, in the London Borough of Islington, in order to inform redevelopment proposals for the building. The school building is Grade II listed, and lies within the St John's Grove Conservation Area. The school was built in 1830/31 to a design by the architect Charles Barry, who was also responsible for the adjoining St John's Church. The school building was extended in 1858 and 1867: on the latter occasion, facilities for infants were added. Further improvements were made in 1904. Between 1967 and 1972 the school moved to new premises in Pemberton Gardens, and the school closed. Between 1982 and 2009 the buildings were used for offices, technical support and storage by the London Borough of Islington, which necessitated significant internal and external changes to the structure. Externally, these changes have involved the removal of some significant architectural details, and the unsympathetic insertion of new doors and windows, notably on the north elevation. Internally, little survives of the original layout of the classrooms, or any related internal fixtures and fittings. |
