boiler house behind, further (later) addition beyond that. Behind the
original coal store is 89 addition which is not of special interest. Link

recesses with 2 small circular windows over; left bay retains original small-pane
window, others altered; left doorway has double board door, right doorway enlarged;
openings have archivolts linked by moulded impost band; gabled ridge lights; 4-bay
north elevation has segmental-arched windows in recesses and impost band. The

board doors, 12-pane windows with pivoting casements and stone cills and lintels,
stepped eaves; porch added at left (north) end. 1836-38 Boiler House and Coal Store
