Full Description

Building 3a has been created by roofing over the space between the south wall of BLD60064 (Building 3) and a boundary wall and FLG 17 to the south. The building is shown on the 1921 Ordnance Survey, so it must have been constructed only a short time after Building 3 was completed, probably for use as a store room. Gabled walls of pale yellow brick with dimensions of 230 x 110 x 67mm laid in Flemish bond have been inserted at the west and east ends and it has a roof of corrugated metal sheeting, although this is likely a modern replacement for slate.<1>
