Former Ambulance Station At Highlands Hospital

The former ambulance station at Highlands Hospital was built between 1884 and 1887 by architects Pennington and Brigden. This building, constructed from red and yellow brick with a slate roof, features a symmetrical design with three central bays that rise two storeys high, flanked by two single-storey bays on either side and a central carriage opening. At the rear, there is an iron shelter consisting of three bays. The main elevation showcases six-light casement windows that are connected by sill bands and set beneath segmental red-brick arches, which are supported by battered red-brick piers. The carriage opening also features a segmental arch, with pilasters on either side and red-brick surrounds for the first-floor round windows, all beneath a deep coved eaves cornice. Inside, there are double doors within the carriageway and a single stack at the rear.
