Bermondsey Central L B Southwark 1939 dem.Glengall L B Tower Hamlets 1939.• The L plan comprises two perpendicular classroom wings with the hall at theintersection or end.

Variantsincluded the double-butterfly or X plan (Old Oak, L B Hammersmith and Fulham, 1920-22, built in two phases; the science block of Marlborough College, Wiltshire by W.GNewton of 1933) and the Y plan (Magdalen Road, L B Wandsworth, 1927). The planis influenced by late 19th century sanatoria such as isolation and TB hospitals. Earlyschools include Vittoria Place, L B Islington (SBL, 1879) and the Glebe Elementary School,Bolsover, Derbyshire (George Henry Widdows, 1911) and Creswell School, Derbyshire(George Henry Widdows, 1912). The plan was employed by H.G. Crothall, MiddlesexCounty Architect at two secondary schools of 1910: Western Road Secondary Girls’School, Southall and the Harrow County Boys School. The fully-glazed Kingsley Open-AirRecovery School in Kettering of 1913 by R.J. Williams is also of butterfly form. 8The LCC used butterfly planning in their single-storey designs of c.1920 for the LCCelementary schools for the Bellingham, Roehampton and Old Oak estates. TheLCC described them as ‘of a pavilion type, which approximates [..] to the lines of asanatorium’. 9 The 1920 designs were realised as:Athelney Street (infants) L B Lewisham 1920-23Huntingfield Rd (jr & ifts) L B Wandsworth 1920-22 dem.Old Oak LB Hamm. & Fulham 1920-22 10Butterfly plans were later employed at:Furzedown L B Wandsworth 1928Westhorne L B Greenwich 1936Henry Fawcett L B Lambeth 1936The butterfly plan influenced other plan types: Lewisham Bridge (L B Lewisham, 1914-15)and Elfrida juniors’ department (L B Lewisham, 1924-25) are examples of the Hillbrookplan (cf) with wings skewed at 45°.© ENGLISH H ER I TAG E 43 - 20 09107
