Description
This 1909 secondary school is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * Its overall design combining classical proportions with art nouveau influence is unusual and effective * the use of extensive art nouveau motifs in terracotta presents a distinctive and interesting exterior * its interesting symmetrical plan was built as a piece and there are signs of innovation in the two tiered hall with balcony, gallery and classrooms opening off on two levels * the optimism and aspirations of a large urban community are reflected in the imposing design of this school * it remains largely intact and those interventions which have taken place have been achieved sensitively * largely intact schools displaying this level of architectural interest combined with elements of innovation in planning are not common....Secondary School, 1909 designed by J C Maxwell for the Tynemouth Education Committee and built by J L Miller. .... -
