Description
The stables at Rotton Park Loop Canal Maintenance Yard, built around 1860, are located on Icknield Port Road. This single-storey building is constructed from red and blue brick in Flemish stretcher bond and features a slate roof with gabled ends. The structure has a two-room plan, with stables on the left (east) and a grooms' room on the right (west). The north front has two windows and a doorway to the right of centre, which has a segmental arch and a plank door. To the left of the doorway is a small three-pane cast-iron window with a segmental arch, while to the right is a larger multi-pane cast-iron window with intersecting glazing bars in a two-centred arch and a central opening casement. A similar window is found in the west gable end, and there is a small segmental arch window high in the east gable end. Inside, the grooms' room features a small corner fireplace with a cast-iron grate. Rotton Park Loop was originally part of James Brindley's Birmingham Canal from 1768, which was improved by Thomas Telford around 1827.
