asbestos. A huge single space (internally measuring 46m x 19m, ie 874 sq.m).
Exterior: overhanging eaves which at each end are combined with a cornice of lath
and plaster to form a pediment at gable, with a large lunette, with radial glazing bars. To either side, set high, 2 large cast iron lunettes and 3 occuli with brick surrounds, with cast-iron radial glazing bars. Entrance to west, with altered doorway.
Interior impressive single-span roof of 19 bays; roof trusses with principal
