Description

Druries is a large, asymmetrical building located on the west side of High Street in Harrow-on-the-Hill. It was designed in 1865 by C.F. Hayward and is an example of Gothic revival architecture. The building is constructed of red brick with blue decorative elements and stone dressings, and it stands four storeys tall. A notable feature is the central semi-circular link between the left and right wings, which has a five-light window and a crested pyramidal tiled roof. The building is prominently sited, making it a significant part of the local landscape.

Local climate

Druries sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 94% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 29 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 67% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
