Full Description
The building was subject to assessment in 2000 (SUP 2) and a summary record was undertaken in 2011, prior to conversion.<1><2>
A rectangular single-storey structure, aligned NE to SW, of red brick in Flemish bond with a pitched roof of asbestos slates. It was originally divided into five rooms with a centrally-located entrance in its north-east elevation. Four other entrances were located in the south-east elevation. Two of these remain while the other two have been bricked in. The window heads with their alternating red and yellow brick voussoirs above these blocked entrances can still be observed. The seven windows of the southeast elevation have all been altered and new, smaller Crittall windows inserted, although the sills are original. The façade built into the boundary wall had eleven windows looking out onto Butt Road. These have since been bricked in.<1>
