This building at the north end of the site is Listed Grade II* and was built in 1811 with the superintendent's house at this end and the apprentices' house behind. This was the second apprentices' house. It is not known how many apprentices were housed but one book states - "but it is not inconceivable that well over a hundred children were sheltered there".
