Hurlingham: Elizabethan School
Image: © Dr Neil Clifton Taken: 17 May 2013
This splendid mock-Jacobean building was completed in 1855, the work of Horace Francis, originally being a ragged school. It has since had a variety of uses, the last use known to me being as a Youth Club. At present it appears to be disused - the entrances are secured and notices carrying dire warnings about guard dogs are posted everywhere. The building is Grade II listed. It would clearly be wasted as a care home, and is not suitable anyway for such a use. It could possibly find a use as an academic library, or a music centre.
