History

The kennels are of the early C20, probably relating to the expenditure incurred by the estate in 1913.

On the S, three railed exercise enclosures with tall round-topped iron railings on a orthostatic slate wall approximately 1m high. On the W, 2 larger dog runs, perhaps added later, railed with standard railings set on a low brick wall with a slate coping.
