York Historic Environment Record

The existing structure comprises a single-story brick structure under a gabled pitched roof with natural red clay pantiles, with corrugated sheet roofing to the southern elevation and capped ridge supported by two king post trusses. The building is divided into two identical rooms. Both rooms at the southern elevation have large arched windows, both now containing brick infill.

To the northern elevation are two smaller rectangular windows set at a raised height. The rooms have external doorways extending to 2.5m in height with ashlar decorative blocks set with splayed jamb bricks. Two large cast iron hinges are set into ashlar blocks on which the door would be hung.

One doorway still has the original wooden plank door hung with cast iron T hinges. Some later repairs to the doorway are evident. Internal floor compromised of red four brick-built stands supporting ashlar troughs. Troughs are located at each corner of the room and some still have evidence of metal bar fixtures.
