Description
The building is a fire station constructed in the late 19th century, designed in the style of Norman Shaw. It features red brick with blue brick and white stone dressings, and has a corner hexagonal banded tower. The roofs are slate, with the main roof adorned with crested tiles. The structure is three storeys high and includes two ranks of dormers; the lower rank is positioned through the eaves and gabled, while the upper rank is set in a steeply pitched, high roof.
The fire station has a three-bay width facing Roman Road. The ground floor showcases three shallow moulded white stone arches over fire doors, which are separated by banded brick and stone buttresses. Above this, decorative red tiles are complemented by a white stone band at the first-floor sill level. The first floor features three paired sash windows, each under plain stone lintels. Below the second-floor windows, there is a blue brick band, with the windows themselves having red brick gauged arches and blue brick bands above. A stone cornice is located below the lower dormers. The facade includes metal lettering that reads "Fire Brigade Station." The corner block consists of one bay, with windows set in shallow arched brick recesses, and features a shield.
