Standing Building Recording (3 June 2016)
NT 27500 71697 A historic building survey was carried out, 3 June 2016, of the former nursery prior to its demolition and the construction of new houses. The nursery was built in one phase in the late 1920s/early 1930s. The exterior has remained as it was originally constructed, with a much neater and ordered E elevation to the roadside and a more ancillary and messy rear W elevation. Internally, the building has retained its original layout, although some of the original fixtures and fittings have been replaced over time, with fireplaces blocked-up and replaced, and door
fittings upgraded. However, the main doors into the building at ground floor level and some original door fittings had survived.
