I would like the British School to be included in the Local List.
Address: Adjacent to Baptist Church, High Road, Rayleigh.
Description: Former school, now a church hall, built 1863/4. Red brick building with slate roof. Probably original windows.
Reasons for inclusion: Mainly its history, as part of the provision of pre-state education schools in Rayleigh.

Rayleigh - Are there any other buildings or items of street furniture which should be considered? Why?

I would like Brocketts Shop considered for inclusion in the Local List.
Address: 349, Eastwood Road, Rayleigh
Description: 2-storey brick building with flat roof. Coloured brick detailing, and decorative brick and the detail over the windows. Windows have been replaced by modern. Also, unfortunate modern shop front extension to ground floor. For many years a sub-post office, now a shop.
Reasons for inclusion: I suspect it was purpose-built as a post office/general store, probably for the plot-land development planned off of Eastwood Road. Often some basic piece of infrastructure would be built (e.g. a pub or a shop) to encourage people to buy a plot of land. Sometimes the plotland estate failed to be built, but the shop remained anyway. These odd, unexpected, quirky buildings can often give us more clues to the way that our District developed than the more attractive period buildings that everyone thinks should be protected.

Rayleigh Railway Station and Platform - Station Road

Reasons why Rayleigh railway station should be included in the Local List.:
1). The railway had a dramatic effect on the development of Rayleigh, driving the change from a small market town to a large commuter town.
2). The station is used by a huge chunk of the population of Rayleigh every working day, so the appearance of the buildings/platforms has a considerable impact on their perception of the town.
3). The station has already suffered some degradation (e.g. the horrible modern porch outside the main entrance, which is utterly out of keeping). Without some protection, the whole appearance is likely to be gradually changed out of all recognition.

Page 4 Para: Street scene 1st paragraph
I object to groups of buildings which do not have individual significance being excluded from the Local List. Often it is the fact that there is a group of buildings that makes them worth including when, individually, they may not be considered of particular significance.
