Description

Electricity sub-station, early 1900s. It is built of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and features a 15th-century Gothic style that interestingly complements the adjoining Church of the English Martyrs. The building has one tall storey and three bays, topped with a tall hipped slate roof and a parapet. It also has large traceried windows.
