Bedford, The Grammar School 1898

More about this scene
In 1898 the school buildings were still crisp and new; they show well the Gothic Revival style chosen by Robins - this style was favoured by schools in Victorian times. The north front, seen here, is the best elevation, with its central turret flanked by Gothic traceried windows and battlements. Above is a louvred turret with a spirelet. The only post- medieval feature is the Georgian dormers in the steep roof. The school is an undoubted success, and a great asset to the town.
