52, 54 AND 56, BRINKLEY ROAD

This building, now three separate dwellings, originally served as the local workhouse, constructed in the late 17th or early 18th century. It is built of local red brick with a red pantile roof and features two symmetrical brick stacks and a rear stack. The building is two storeys high with an attic, and incorporates an outshut. A prominent gable is centrally positioned on the facade, featuring a round window. Other details include a dentil brick cornice and a brick plinth. The original facade displays seven first-floor casement windows, with a central half-glazed door flanked by two modern porches with flat roofs. An Enclosure Award Map from 1810 documents the property.
