Summarised from report:

The Armourer’s Shop, which is no longer present, was situated on the eastern side of the Coal Yard, formed part of the improvements mooted at the end of the 1850s but it was not completed until 1870. It was a single-storeyed building, roughly square in plan, with a small projection on the north side. It was constructed of grey stock brick with a flat concrete roof, composed of three shallow segmental vaults, supported by wrought-iron beams. Between 1870 and 1871 the Armourer’s Shop was extended northwards for the full length of the Coal Yard wall. It is marked ‘Forge’ on the 1897 plan and known as the Smith’s Shop by 1911. (1)
