Description

Report of Level 1 survey enhanced with additional record photography and prodcution of a written description commensurate with a Level 3 survey. Ecus Ltd were commissioned by Bowmer and Kirkland to undertake Historic Building Recording of the two building which form Leamington Primary and Nursery School buildings, Clare Road, Sutton in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire (hereafter 'the site'), located at National Grid Co-ordinate SK 49613, 57726. The building survey was completed in February 2016. A brief was agreed with the Historic Environment officer for Nottingham for a Level 1 survey enhanced with additional record photography and a descriptive report commensurate with a Level 3 survey. Leamington Primary and Nursery School is located off Clare Road. Playing fields are located to the east. The school site also includes tarmacadam playgrounds and car parks, green spaces as well as a flagged yard to the south. There are two buildings within the site which house the school and nursery. Building 1 is a purpose built late 1950s school, which was constructed to a standard school design. The building is reflective of the developments in school design and architecture which was gradually working its way towards the prefabricated CLASP schools of the 1970s. The building retains a number of original features, including doors, radiators and sinks and toilets, although many of the original windows have been replaced with new PVC. The layout of the building has received little alteration and the intended communication through the building is still legible. Building 2 is a standard CLASP school designed and constructed in 1974, with later alterations and extensions. The building retains few original features and the legibility of communication through the building has been in part lost by the later alterations the building has received.
