Description

The former privies located at the rear of Number 2 are now used for storage. They were built around 1830 and are constructed from tooled-and-margined dressed sandstone with corrugated-iron roofs. The structure is single-storey and has four bays, with the end bays being taller and featuring cornices, while the rear wall is flat-coped. There is a lower, likely later, set-back front wall situated between the end bays. The end bays have boarded doors with pointed-arched top braces, and there are two replaced boarded doors in the front wall. This building is included for its group value.
