'Former' being the operative word. Either directly or indirectly, as a result of a fire in 2002 the site has largely been cleared. The channelled chimney (perhaps saved by the listing) looms over the local grid of small streets mostly comprised of empty plots of land which have been turned into modest (and cheap) car parks, and low-rise sheds. Originally built c1870 by the Borough Surveyor, J.G. Lynde. Grade II listed.
