Zoom-view of a colourful roundel in the gable of this early Victorian (1843) building. According to the description given when the building was 'listed' (Grade II) bricks of three colours were used: red, yellow and white. It is no longer easy to see the difference between the yellow and the white, but the main structure must surely be of yellow brick - white being reserved (with red) for the decorative details. For a more general view of the building see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2316364.
