Bushfield School
Moon Street
|
Built in 1906 by Bucks County Council. Designed by Ley, Kirkham & Partners of Bishopsgate London as Secondary School for North Bucks. Substantially altered and unsympathetic additions from 1960’s onwards. Its setting as a result is also eroded. |
Grounds vulnerable to development |
 |
Former Market Hall, originally School
Creed Street
|
Built in 1839 as a school by the Railway Company. Added to in 1857. Used as market hall from 1907 onwards until late 1970s when use changed to office premises. Has been acquired by Town Council for community use including library |
More internal changes with change of use |
 |
| Former Reading Room |
2 storey building with large sash windows adjacent to canal. Built as first educational facility by the Railway Company and used as a school and Wesleyan chapel. Later converted to railway workshops (Sewing Room) 1839 |
Part of Triangle complex but not listed in own right. Derelict. |
 |
Former Wesleyan Chapel
Church Street
|
Gothic chapel with tower (spire cut down) Built in 1892 by Ewan Harper of Birmingham. Church and Sunday School originally, 1940’s removal of railings ( but gates survive). Cutting down of unusual openwork stone spire (1960s) and demolition of rear Sunday School building for Foyer building (1990s) |
Empty, decaying. Future use uncertain. Need to restore missing details. |
 |
MADCAP

|
Former Church Institute with first floor theatre/hall approached by external staircase. Built in 1908 by Charles Marriott Oldrid Scott. Change of ownership in 1970’s to house youth arts centre. Lowering of external walls. |
