simple classical details, nestled into man-made banks
abutting 3 side and rear elevations. Cream sandstone
ashlar with paving stone coping.

keystoned doorway at centre with deeply moulded
surround; 2-leaf panelled doors. 2 openings on E
return, single door only on W return. Narrow recessed
outer bays with doorways (detailed as main door) filling
bays. Swept curtain walls advanced from outer corners,
suggesting imposing quadrants, with banks of earth to
outer sides.

timber screen with horizontal glazing by filter room with
droved, translucent glazing. Trabeated glazed ceiling

Striking, masterly design for industrial building, in
rural setting. Filter station for Whiteadder Reservoir to S,
