It's likely this was designed to display the products of the local brickworks for the proprietor Mr Woodward, whose own home included a tower that enabled him to spy on his employees. The architectural details are as follows: Red brick with extensive dressings in moulded or pressed brick, centre house is gabled and advanced, one-window with door to left, the rest 2-window and all 2 storeys. Upper windows are 4-pane sashes with notched brick segmental heads, slate sills and painted wood boards with incised crosses over window heads. Ground floors each have a canted bay with hipped metal clad roofs, but centre house has 2-storey bay in centre and door to left. Doors are all 2-panel, with notched brick segmental pointed arches and carved heads to varied designs as keystones. Centre house has bargeboarded gable and small pointed attic light. Red brick ridge stacks.
