Full Description
A building known as 'Meal Rooms' at Marsh Gunpowder Works. 'Its purpose is unclear as its late date and interior fittings imply a staff welfare area, whilst the use of the name ‘meal’ is synonymous with milled materials and with gunpowder processing'. The date of construction is unclear, but it was in existence by 1937 at the latest. It is the only building in the central clusted that is not a Listed Building. (1)
