Description

TQ 67 SW NORTHFLEET HIGH STREET 1/116 The Factory Club II Built in 1878 to designs by Parr and Strong for Bevan's cement (Pyramid Brand) as a recreational hall and rooms for the workers (still used as such by Blue Circle). It comprises brick-built basement, double height ground floor and attic with added classical decoration and slate roofs. Recessed centre section containing 5 tall round-headed windows and tower-like end sections containing doors which are reached from the pavement by bridges across the area. The end sections have corners decorated with Corinthian pilasters and rise to French-Chateau-type steep pitched roofs containing dormer windows, topped by decorative coast-iron railings. The whole roof lies behind a tall, elaborately decorated parapet with a central coat of arms. Building retains skilful, relatively early examples of Portland cement decoration.
