Lifeboat house. 1862. Random rubble with red brick relieving
arch to front and rear walls, slate roof.
EXTERIOR: C20 pitched roof with wide oversailing eaves to the
right, forming an outshut supported by timber posts with
struts to the eaves. A similar outshut to the left, now filled
in with random rubblestone, forms a shop to the front and
other facilities to the rear. The front gable has a glazed
oculus with 4 radial glazing bars. To rear is a small canted
timber casement window supported on a moulded timber bracket.
INTERIOR: the timber-lined roof structure has strutted moulded

This is an early example of a lifeboat house surviving in very
much its original condition.
