Tyne and Wear HER(7524): Low Fell, Joicey Road Open Air School
-
Description
Sitelines - "The Joicey Road Open-Air School for "sickly" children was proposed in 1924 but not opened until 1937. This is a rare and well-preserved, if late, example of an open-air school in England, one of a number built in the 1920s and 1930s. They were based on a school of 1904 at Charlottenburg near Berlin, which was copied in London by 1907, mostly admitting children with tuberculosis. Fresh air was considered to be all-important, and teaching and afternoon naps were conducted outdoors, the buildings being for use only in poor weather, for meals and medical inspections...." -
