Guard rooms, archway and service rooms to the naval hospital,

(qv). 1809-11. By William Pilkington supervised by Edward
Holl, Architect to the Navy Board. Yellow stock brick with
Portland stone dressings. Slate roofs.

single-depth ranges.
Central 2-storey block with a Roman portico of 2 pairs of

sashes to the ground floor and four 3/3 sashes to the first
floor, all recessed behind wall plane. Parapet swept down
right and left to single-storey wings with sashes and C20
casements. Gabled roofs of low pitch.
HISTORICAL NOTE: formed the main approach to the hospital with
kitchens in side ranges. The hospital is a unique instance of
military planning, the entrance range may have served to
screen the officers' houses, formerly to the N, from the main
part of the hospital. Part of a fine group of early naval
hospital buildings.
