Appraisal

The form of this building contrasts greatly with the other buildings in the terrace which are typical of the village. This individuality is visible in the irregularly placed fenestration which enlivens the facade. The building's character is increased through the retention of original features, particularly the timber sash windows and timber sills. Industrial buildings such as this one are increasingly threaten by demolition, and it is unusual to find one as well maintained while still retaining much historic fabric.
