Full description
If you do not understand anything on this page please contact us.
Apart from the machine shop, the shell of this building is all that survives of the 1850 Carriage and Wagon Department of 1850. It is a single storey square block of 10 by 9 bays with the N-E corner cut away. On all four sides the elevations were articulated by rubbed brick double round-headed arches set in tall rectangular recesses. The eastern elevation has a plain parapet but recent re-roofing with a saw roof has destroyed all evidence of the former roof.
