Description
The Briggs Memorial Hall is a meeting hall built around 1907 by C. F. A. Voysey for Henry Briggs and Son. It features roughcast render on brick and has a tiled roof. This small rectangular building has five bays and is designed in the Arts and Crafts style, characterized by simple battered buttresses.
The east gable end includes a canted flat-roofed porch with a central doorway and a rectangular window on each side. Above the porch is a sandstone plaque inscribed with "IN MEMORY OF ARTHUR CURRER BRIGGS BORN 1855 DIED 1906." Above this plaque is a large lunette window with rectilinear-pattern glazing bars and a hoodmould with run-out ends. The side walls have smaller lunette windows at the top of each bay. The roof features swept eaves and barge-boarding at the gable.
At each rear corner of the hall, there is a small single-cell building of square section, which has similar buttresses, a doorway in the front wall, and a small window in the side, likely serving as toilets.
