Weedon Bec: Former Ordnance Depot Fireman's Quarters
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 3 May 2015
This structure was originally built in the mid to late 19th century as quarters for firemen at the very nearby ordnance depot. The building is unusual in having the roof of this, the front elevation, extending over an iron-framed balcony and verandah in front of both the ground and first floors. Originally there were 6 flats to each floor, but the building has since been taken over as council flats and there are now only 3 flats to each floor. It is Grade II Listed.
