Icknield Street School, Grade II* listed school building in Hockley, Birmingham, England

The red brick Victorian school features a three-stage slated spire, high gables, pitched roofs, terracotta plaques, and tall stained glass windows.

Designed by J.H. Chamberlain of Martin and Chamberlain in 1883, the school expanded in 1886 and 1894 to accommodate an increasing number of students.

The ground floor now serves as a Hindu temple, while the upper floors remain unused, representing the evolution of community needs in Birmingham.

The building requires immediate repairs due to water damage from leaking slate roofs and gutters, which affect both the structure's walls and interior.

The school's tower, positioned above the staircase, was engineered specifically to create natural ventilation throughout the entire building structure.
