GV II
Includes: The Mall ISLINGTON HIGH STREET. Former electricity transformer station and tram depot, now shops and restaurant. 1905-6 by the LCC Architect's Department. Yellow brick set in English bond, stone dressings, roof of Welsh slate. The surviving building is a shed with entrances at either end. The elevation to Islington High Street is divided into three bays by rusticated piers, the rustication banded as throughout the building; the broad inner piers are on either side of the central round-arched entrance and are pierced by ground-floor and mezzanine flat-arched windows, the outer piers are in pairs, flanking round-arched windows with impost blocks; three flat-arched windows in each of the side bays. Moulded stone cornice; brick parapet with stone coping. The elevation to Upper Street, though almost blank, is the most important architecturally. Screen wall with rusticated piers at either end, and two pavilions which form a centrepiece with the intervening bay. Each pavilion contains a niche, with rusticated brickwork to the sides and archivolt and springing band of stone; in each niche a blank aedicule of stone with simplified mouldings; three small windows between the pavilions with flat arches and keystones of gauged brick, the two northern windows obscured by new brickwork. The moulded stone springing band runs the full length of the building, connecting to the end entrances, and running 'behind' the flanking piers. Moulded stone cornice with modillions over the pavilions; brick parapet with stone coping to the centrepiece. Metal ventilators along the ridge of the roof. The north and south elevations consist of a massive round arch with broad rusticated pilasters and stone archivolt; modillion cornice and parapet over. Several features of the building, notably the pavilions to the Upper Street front, blank walling and niches with aedicules, were influenced by, and are a tribute to, Newgate Prison by George Dance II, which was demolished in 1902.
