Detached ten-bay single-storey training centre, c.1940, with two projecting porches. Rough-cast walls with brick base. Timber sash windows in plain openings with internal railings.

Appraisal

This building largely retains its original aspect, including its boldly articulated chimney stacks. Still in use, it has been a valuable constituent of the social fabric of the area since it was built.
