Pound, lock-up and fire engine house, c1830. Lock-up and fire
engine house in single storey gault brick building with a
gabled, slate roof and end parapets on kneelers. The parapet to
the front, above the lock-up, is surmounted by three crosses of
stone. The gable end to the front has two oval shaped windows
with grilles, one to each cell, above the lock-up doorway. The
door is original and has its iron fittings complete. The other
gable end also has similar oval shaped windows but the entry to
the engine house is in the side wall. The door is original but
has fewer iron fittings. The lock-up and fire engine house are
enclosed by the pound wall of brick and clunch with a gate on
the street side. Inside there are two cells each barrel
vaulted. The fire engine house retains the original fire engine
inscribed "Bristow fecit" and "the gift of Mrs Allix...1791".
