Description
The Entrance Turnstile Building at Stourbridge War Memorial Athletic Ground is a sports ground entrance building with turnstiles and payment booths, constructed in 1932 and donated by Ernest Stevens.
It is made of red Ketley brick laid in English bond, topped with a pantile roof. The building features six turnstiles arranged in a line, accompanied by payment booths, all forming a single range.
The exterior walls are symmetrical, constructed of English-bond red brick. Each side has three sets of double plank doors. The east side, facing the entering crowd, has narrower doors and includes raised bands of brickwork on its lower body that extend around the sides, along with projecting rectangular panels of brick on the upper body. A cast iron gutter runs along the top of the wall, with downpipes attached to the sides. The west side features wider doors that provide access to the cash desks.
Inside, each set of doors leads to a pair of turnstiles, flanked by grilles where the cash desks are located. The cast iron mechanisms of the turnstiles are marked with circular plates that read: ‘W.T.ELLISON & CO. / LIMITED / ENGINEERS / MANCHESTER’. The outer ring of each plate states ‘SOLE MAKERS / RUSH PREVENTATIVE TURNSTILES’. A pedal in the cash booth activates the mechanism for each of the six turnstiles.
