Built for Shrewsbury and Chester Railway by Thomas Brassey in 1849, a "rare early survival of the sort of maintenance provision that was usually rapidly replaced or modified out of all recognition". It has a handsome sequence of arched windows divided by piers. Converted to houses - the developers have managed to stretch to three storeys.
