Full Description
FLG 12/13 is located on the far eastern side of the Flagstaff complex and is one of three long buildings which formerly served as wagon sheds (along with MCC3110/MCC10134 and MCC10135). The building first appears on the 1921 edition Ordnance Survey but is believed to date to c.1903. It is aligned N to S and is constructed from yellow stock bricks with dimensions of 230 x 115 x 65mm laid in English bond with a gabled slate roof. Although FLG 12 to the north was converted to a cinema at some point after 2000, the southern part of the building (FLG 13) has survived virtually intact with many of the original features.<1><2>
