Pound, Lock Up And Fire Engine House

The building is a pound, lock-up, and fire engine house, dating to around 1830. It is a single-story brick building with a gabled slate roof and end parapets set on kneelers. The front parapet, above the lock-up, has three stone crosses. The front gable has two oval-shaped windows with grilles, one serving each cell, positioned above the lock-up doorway. The original door to the lock-up retains its iron fittings. The other gable end also has similar oval-shaped windows, and the entrance to the fire engine house is in the side wall. That door is original but with fewer iron fittings. The lock-up and fire engine house are surrounded by a brick and clunch pound wall, which includes a gate on the street side. Internally, there are two barrel-vaulted cells. The fire engine house still contains the original fire engine, inscribed with “Bristow fecit” and “the gift of Mrs Allix...1791”.
