Description
The Office and Lodge to Flaybrick Hill Cemetery, built between 1862 and 1864 by architects Lucy and Littler, is a picturesque gothic-style building located on Tollemache Road in Birkenhead. Constructed from coursed and squared rubble, it features a Welsh slate roof and is asymmetrically planned over one and two storeys. The south elevation has three bays, with a central tower above the entrance porch. The entrance is marked by a moulded archway supported by shafts and a hood mould. The tower has wide chamfered angles and gables on each face, adorned with heavy foliate bases to short shafts beside the Birkenhead arms. A tall timber fleche with trefoiled niches and a wrought-iron finial crowns the tower. To the right, there is a window and dormer in the roof, while the office to the left includes a stepped three-light foiled window in an expressed gable, and a segmental bay window with a half-conical roof and paired transomed lights in the end gable.
