Description

The Engine House, Boiler House, and Coal Store at Sarson's Vinegar Factory is a mid-19th century structure made of stock brick with a stone parapet that hides the roof. The west front features cambered openings that have been blocked with 20th-century yellow brickwork. The east front has its upper part largely filled in with later 20th-century brickwork. The first floor has blocked cambered openings, while the ground floor contains three round-headed arches that have also been blocked in the late 20th century. A tall, tapering square brick chimney is located to the north-west. The interior has not been inspected.
