• Hillbrook plan. 5 An elongated, axial plan, with a single row of classrooms off a corridorand a projecting central hall. This is an early example of single banking, where classroomsopen off a corridor on one side only, enabling cross ventilation and improved corridorlighting. The entrances can be located at the ends or centrally, for ease of access to thehall and emergency egress. Stairs are housed in projecting rear cross-wings. The plan hasits origins in the SBL: with the exception of the central hall, these elements are presentat Hollydale Road, L B Southwark of 1877. The plan was also employed by the MunicipalBorough of Wimbledon (eg. the Durnsford Elementary school of 1910). 6The LCC had adopted the plan by 1912, which is when the Council approved the designsfor the Lewisham Bridge elementary school: 7Burghley Central Girls’ L B Camden 1914 dem.Lewisham Bridge L B Lewisham 1914-15Senior Street L B Westminster 1915Ravenstone L B Wandsworth 1915Hillbrook Road L B Wandsworth 1916Althelney Street L B Lewisham 1922-23Elfrida L B Lewisham 1924-25Crondall Street L B Hackney 1927Churchdown L B Lewisham 1929As central halls became less popular, the plan later fell out of use. The 1,124 place juniorschool at Athelney Street, which served the Bellingham estate, is particularly long, havingseven classrooms to each wing and double halls. The plan was also employed at provided<strong>schools</strong> such as the Battersea Grammar School, L B Lambeth (J.E.K. Harrison, 1936).• End Hall. In the late 1920s the LCC AD sought an alternative to the central hall anddouble-banking of the Stowage model. The motives were probably a desire for a crossventilated classroom, to replace the corridor with open veranda or gallery and to openup the hall and insulate the classrooms from its noise. The result was an asymmetrical,elongated plan with single-banked row of classrooms terminating in stairs and a hall.Ancillary accommodation was added to the north of the corridor. The first tentativesteps, Upper North Street, L B Tower Hamlets and Haimo Road, L B Greenwich (bothof 1928), betray their origins in the Stowage model plan (cf). The design emerges moreclearly at:Durham Hill L B Lewisham 1928 dem.Ealdham Square L B Greenwich 1928Hanover Street L B Islington 1931-32.In the years of the ‘mini boom’ in school building, end-halls were built at the BurlingtonSchool for Girls, L B Hammersmith and Fulham (Burnet, Tait and Lorne, 1936) and by theLCC AD at:Cowley L B Lambeth 1936Effra Parade L B Lambeth 1937 dem.Cubitt Town L B Tower Hamlets 1937Wornington Road L B Ken. & Chelsea 1938© ENGLISH H ER I TAG E 43 - 20 09105
