cream-coloured brick on each side wall.

with pilasters between and at either side supporting an

panel in which is set a brass handle consisting of a hand
clenching a bar. Windows in 3 centre bays are of
mullioned-and-transomed lights, the mullions in the form of
fluted and twisted iron columns. The frieze above has raised
panels, 2 of them circular and decorated with a flower.
Upper-storey windows are segmental-headed with moulded brick
arches and keystones; moulded cills. Plain sashes with horns.
The 2 end bays are flanked by pilasters, and there is a raised

appears to have been designed as offices, making it an early
example of provincial office architecture. Included for group
