GV II

Warfleet Brewery, now a pottery. Dated 1819, with some later C19 and C20 alterations. Local stone rubble with a more red-brown rubble reserved for voussoirs; single brick chimneyshaft, any other stacks are disused; slate roof. PLAN: Large rectangular building built down the hillslope. EXTERIOR: 4 storeys with attics and basement. 2:3:2-window west front. All the original openings have low segmental-arch heads, most are partly blocked and contain plain narrow horizontal windows. Left 2-window section most altered with a ground-floor C20 garage door, four 6-pane sash windows and a couple of oculus windows to the upper floors, mostly ignoring the original openings. Centre section broken forward very slightly under a gable with giant full-height pilasters to top round-headed arch. Here there is a central doorway at second-floor level, now to an iron bridge to the raised embankment of Weeke Hill (dating from 1863). Above it a loading hatch, and above that a datestone inscribed 1819 with the initials "A.H.H." Deep eaves carried on large shaped timber brackets and gable-ended roof. Both end walls in the same style; 1:2:1-window ranges divided by giant pilasters to round arches and top windows with round-headed arches. Because of the slope, the ground-floor level is buried at the uphill (right) end, whereas the left end has a broad blocked arch to the basement. INTERIOR: Only partly inspected. Plain, strong utilitarian carpentry exposed. To ground floor, large square beams supported on a series of timber posts, and upright joists with criss-cross bracing. Second-floor crossbeams of large scantling here with large bead mouldings to the soffit. Roof not inspected. This old brewery plays an important role in the Warfleet area, an industrial building to contrast with the later houses.
