Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited was commissioned by CgMs Consulting on behalf of Kingston College to carry out building recording of the Penny Gallery and Block 200, Kingston College, Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, centred on OS NGR TQ 18220 69784. The two buildings have no statutory designation nor do they lie within a Conservation Area, however they have been designated by Kingston Borough Council as Buildings of Townscape Merit. The building recording was carried out in response to a planning condition for their demolition. They were recorded in accordance with English Heritage's Level 3 in September 2013. The Penny Galley was constructed in 1828 as the Infant School of Kingston Public Schools next to the larger Junior School building constructed in 1818. The Junior School building was replaced by a larger two-storey building in 1907 due to the increasing numbers of school pupils. At the same time the 1828 Infant School (Penny Gallery) was extended to the west with a large single storey building (Block 200). This extension was constructed in yellow stock brickwork with architectural details picked out in red brick. The building has decorative chimney stacks and window heads. Three stone boot scrapers were found embedded low down in the school walls. The rooms within the extension were heated by fireplaces. The school closed in the 1964 and the buildings reused as Kingston College, School of Art and Design. |
