Full Description

Summarised from report:

Between 1871 and 1888 stables were built to the south east of the Armourer’s Shop, by 1897 there was room within this structure for 27 horses, this building has since been demolished. In 1903 the building had been adapted for additional use for mobilization equipment. The plans indicate that this was a weather boarded timber structure with large doorways in the north and south gables, opening onto a central nave. A small workshop located to the south of the stables was also constructed under the same scheme. It was a small and plain single-storeyed building constructed in brick, laid in English bond and now painted, with a gabled roof of Welsh slate. In 1938 the stables was converted into a garage each with two large sliding doors to the west, making the building fully open-fronted. (1)
