Description
The building known as the Pigeoncote and attached garage and walls at Poplars dates from the early 18th century and 19th century. It is constructed of red brick and features a roof made of plain tiles and pantiles. The pigeoncote has crow stepped gables with kneelers and dentil eaves. It stands two storeys high and consists of two bays. There are two doorways with plank stable doors. At the rear, there is a single storey lean-to and above it, three rows of flight perches with openings for birds.
Attached to the front right is a single storey outbuilding, built in the 19th century, which now serves as a garage. This outbuilding has a large doorway with part glazed doors, flanked by single glazing bar sashes. To the right, there is a red brick wall with shaped brick coping that extends for seven metres, terminating in a single brick pier with ashlar coping. A similar brick pier forms a gateway, and the wall continues for another metre before turning at a right angle and extending for an additional eleven metres. This section is coped with shaped blue brick and is broken by an ashlar trough, continuing with ashlar coping and featuring five feeding bays on the crew yard side.
