II

Lifeboat house. 1862. Random rubble with red brick relieving arch to front and rear walls, slate roof. EXTERIOR: C20 pitched roof with wide oversailing eaves to the right, forming an outshut supported by timber posts with struts to the eaves. A similar outshut to the left, now filled in with random rubblestone, forms a shop to the front and other facilities to the rear. The front gable has a glazed oculus with 4 radial glazing bars. To rear is a small canted timber casement window supported on a moulded timber bracket. INTERIOR: the timber-lined roof structure has strutted moulded king posts. The walls are clad in vertical boarding. This is an early example of a lifeboat house surviving in very much its original condition.
