Demolishing it to build a care home would destroy a town's heritage, a conservation group warns.
Demolishing Princess Diana's childhood school would destroy a town's heritage, a conservation group has warned.Developers Aspire LLP said it would help to ease a shortage of care home beds in the area, but there are calls for it to be listed.The group's chairman Alison Gifford said: "We are convinced of its importance as an example of an architectural style not represented elsewhere in the town in such an elegant form.
"When these lovely suburban villas are demolished for multiple units of inferior housing, part of our history is lost. "The pleasant and well-designed becomes mundane. You see it everywhere. It's symbolic of modern life.Diana, Princess of Wales, who was born on the Sandringham Estate, attended the privately run Silfield School in 1968 and stayed there for two years.Aspire LLP has applied to West Norfolk Council to seek prior approval to demolish Silfield House.But the company, a specialist care home developer, has different plans for the site and hopes to build a 70-bed care home.
Silfield House was built in 1921 by members of the Jermyn family, who once ran the main high street department store in King's Lynn. It was designed by architects John Laurie Carnell and William Dymoke White, who also designed the Majestic Cinema in the centre of the town.
