The school, in Downs Road, was completed in 1954 to a design by Alison and Peter Smithson and is believed to be the earliest example in western Europe of the Brutalist style of architecture. It has aroused strong feelings of either love or loathing among the generations of pupils and teachers who have had to work within its confines. The black panels beneath the windows were installed, along with wooden sub-frames, in the 1980s in an attempt to mitigate the huge temperature differences arising from the original full-height glazing which was attached directly to the steel frame of the building, causing the glass either to fall out or simply to shatter as the frame expanded or contracted with temperature changes.

Built as Hunstanton Secondary Modern School in 1949-1954, this building was designed by Peter and Alison Smithson, leading lights in the post-war "Brutalist" movement in architecture (contrary to what one might imagine, it got its name from the French “béton brut”, untreated concrete, rather than from any comment on its sympathy or lack of it). Further details of the Smithsons can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alison_and_Peter_Smithson. The northern aspect of the building can be seen at Image

Now flats, this beautiful, large building was the old Lynford House School, a private school, up until the 1950's when finances failed.
