Full Description

(Now demolished - scrub land in 2018)
Single storey structure (3a in TPAT report) with basement floor below, (with passage through to Brewhouse, now blocked off). The building is a four range gabled structure to front, and 6 bay-long area behind a brick cross-wall, it’s area defined by iron columns carrying cross beams and queen-post trusses with expanded feet and heads. A rear wall in English bond backs onto the gardens of alms houses. A corrugated iron roof with skylights, only surviving in part. Several circular iron bases on floor are of unknown purpose. The NE side may have been open, as no wall remains here and decorative stone kneelers can be seen in the corners. The basement level is visible at this side, with two segmental-headed windows and a doorway entered by stairs. A later toilet block was added to this side. Each of the four ranges to the front has a segmental-headed doorway with chamfered brickwork (only one remaining intact, the others having been altered) in the wall to the rear. The gables have false oculi and detilation. The front section is essentially a 2 bay deep loading platform, with a slightly lower brick floor (with channel and engineering bricks at edge) than the flooring in the rear section. The loading bay is c.1.5m above where vehicles etc once loaded/unloaded. Other segmental windows once lit the basement level; this was also entered from the SW corner.
The roof to the 4-bay front section is similar to that of the south-east part but the trusses are carried by thin metal columns on pad stones. This roof has no skylights but its end NW gables are louvred. This building was described as the 'Hopping Shed' on a c.1950 plan, and its basement has been used as an air raid shelter. (1)
To the NW is a later 11-bay long extension runs alongside the west boundary of the site (Structure 03b in TPAT report). This is a single-bay wide gabled structure with angle-iron trusses resting on brick columns on the west side and metal columns on the east side. The roof is corrugated and its gable end louvred. The concrete floor has longitudinal channels where rail lines once ran. The structure is open to the north and east sides. This structure is post 1945, having replaced sheds for barrel washing activities in this area. (1)
