Full Description
The Annexe is a two-storey building constructed from yellow stock bricks with dimensions of 230 x 114 x 65mm laid in Flemish bond. It is aligned E to W and has evolved to become an extension to FLG1 (MCC10139) although, originally, it was a free-standing structure as indicated on the 1897 second edition Ordnance Survey. The map evidence suggests a construction date for the first phase of the building of 1876-97. The roof is gabled with a slate covering and the main façade faces north onto an open square, latterly used as a car park but originally a parade ground. The building was constructed as offices for the Garrison Headquarters company.<1><2>
