Abstract: |
During January 2009 Albion Archaeology carried out an historic building assessment of Long Road Sixth-Form College, Long Road, Cambridge. The assessment was carried out in advance of a planning application for a new college on the site which involves the demolition of the existing buildings. The Cambridgeshire and County High School for Girls represents the Cambridgeshire County Council response to the educational needs school children between the wars. The design of the building not only shows the influence of the modern movement of architecture but the innovative thinking of public servants such as Henry Morris, the Chief Education Officer in Cambridgeshire between 1922 and 1954. The present buildings retain a number of moderne-style design features and despite later alterations and additions much of the contemporary 1939-49 buildings remain largely intact. . |
