Bilston Community Centre - Former Health Clinic

Last crawled date: 1 year, 9 months ago

Listing: Purpose built health clinic. 1937-8. Architects: Lyons and Israel. Locally Listed, approved March 2000. Comment: By the time this clinic was built the firm of Lyons and Israel had been joined by C. H. Elsom and the designs are in the names of all three. But Thomas Ellis had also joined the firm and Pevsner declares the building to be by Lyons, Israel and Ellis. Originally built as a health centre, this building is now used as the Bilston Community Centre. It stands between two major roads on a vee shaped site. At the base of the vee (shown in the photo above) is the entrance and a double height hall; the arms of the vee are single storied, with rooms originally used as offices, consultation rooms and other clinic uses. At the end of the arm which fronts Prouds Lane is a caretaker's house. #Bilston #Centre #Community
