Full Description
A building record was made in 2011, prior to demolition.
A single-storey structure with a shallow, single-pitched roof of tarred felt. The south-east elevation is of red brick laid in Flemish bond with its other walls formed by the boundary wall to the rear and MCC3117 and MCC3119 to the south and north. Two Crittall windows with window heads of soldiers are symmetrically aligned in the south-east elevation. This is mirrored in the boundary wall although the windows in this elevation have been bricked in. The interior of this building is divided around a centrally-aligned corridor with one large room on the boundary wall side and two smaller rooms on the other side. The most southerly of the latter was used as a kitchen; it is not possible to say what purpose the other two rooms had.<1>
