Description
Building 1 (Fuel Store) - A single storey, single cell brick building with cement rendering and a flat concrete roof.
Interior: the walls inside are bare showing the brick is in English Garden Wall bond (with three stretcher courses). The floor is obscured by mud but appears to be concrete. The ceiling is also concrete. There is one window at the rear with a plain timber frame painted a dark red/brown; no glass remains. Some iron fittings are still in place showing the window was hinged at the top and opened at the bottom. Beneath the window is a sill of narrow stretchers. There is a concrete lintel. Built against the north facing wall are the remains of two brick supports, five to six courses high. The better preserved of the two has two niches at the top which correspond to two in the rear wall; presumably there were also two in the second support. Theses niches would have taken two metal rods which in turn would have supported a fuel tank.
There is a doorway in the east face of the building. No door remains but there is one plain timber jamb and a lintel still in place, with traces of dark green paint. Above this is a concrete lintel. Hinge marks on the jamb indicate the door opened outwards.
Exterior: The building has a flat concrete roof. The walls are cement rendered. The south facing wall has a series of small holes along its length. The window has a concrete sill.
