Built in 1909 as a secondary school, it later became a Girls' Grammar School but now is an annexe of Stockport College.
The Grade II listing describes it as "Council secondary school, 1909-10 by Cheers & Smith of Blackburn and Twickenham. Red brick, stone dressings and banding, terracotta mouldings, Westmoorland graduated slate roofs, red terracotta ridge tiles. Tall brick stacks. Cast-iron railings."
In 1970 the school merged with the Technical School, situated to its immediate east, which subsequently became Stockport College of Further and Higher Education. The two buildings are linked by a modern corridor.

Interesting looking structure!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteInteresting windows. And interesting lines repeated in different sizes and colors. It has a lot of charm.
ReplyDeleteLooks like there's a lot of serious studying going on in there!
ReplyDeleteBuilt in a time when windows were important.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of Nigel Molesworth's St Custard's ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove old buildings, so much more interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe red brick (?) and the trim give this building a finished look - a great find!
ReplyDeleteI was a pupil there in 1956. The inside is also remarkable
