History

Built probably early C19, as a nursery and vegetable garden for Plas Newydd, during an important period of improvements to the estate, which also included the construction of Plas Newydd home farm. The Plas Newydd Estate was one of the largest estates on Anglesey, passing to the Bagenal family in 1553 and through marriage to the Bayly family in the C18. In 1812 the estate passed to Henry William, Lord Uxbridge's eldest son; Henry was created 1st Marquess of Anglesey in 1815, and his descendants inherited both estate and title. A number of improvements to the buildings of the estate followed the completion of the main house at Plas Newydd in the early C19; by 1873 the estate is recorded as being 3,848 in size, including scattered lands and land around the mansion of Plas Newydd.

Exterior

Range of buildings to outer side of N wall; rubble walls and lean-to slate roof, including boiler house, potting shed, men's luncheon room and the pump house for the water system, with heavy iron water tank over.
