Description
The fire engine house and village lock-up in Stalham consists of a lock-up built around 1820 and an engine house dated 1833. The structure is made of red brick laid in Flemish bond and features a slate roof.
The engine house is a single-storey, simple rectangular building. The south gable end has double doors, which were replaced in 1983, that are shorter than the original doors which reached the eaves. Above the doorway, there is a limestone plaque indicating the date 1833. The gable head shows minor tumbling, and there are no openings on the west flank or north gable end.
The lock-up is also a simple rectangular building, featuring a plank door on the south gable end, equipped with strap hinges and a padlock with a lock plate and hasp.
Inside, the engine house is an open space without any decorative features, while the lock-up has half of a brick barrel-vaulted roof, with the other half having collapsed.
