Description
The Old Fire Station is a former fire station built around 1900, now no longer in use as such. It features ashlar stonework and a Welsh blue-slate roof. The building is two storeys high, with a four-storey tower that rises from the rear pitch of the roof. To the left, there is a slightly lower house with four bays, which includes doorways in the second and fourth bays, and windows with lintels and sills in the first and second bays. The house has coped gables and a stack on the left side.
To the right is the engine-house, which has three tall doorways that are covered by a glass-roofed canopy supported by slender cast-iron columns. The first floor of the engine-house features a window on either side of an arched window that extends above the roof line, all under a shaped gable with a finial. A decorative ventilator is located at the ridge of the roof. The tower is topped with a shaped parapet and an open wooden structure that was originally used for hanging hoses to dry.
The Old Fire Station is a prominent feature within the town.
