Model dairy to the rear of 40 High Street, Alton

The dairy is a small, octagonal, single-storey structure given, as was commonly the case with dairies, an ornamental exterior and decorated internally to reflect its use as a dairy. It is built of glazed white brick with glazed brown brick panels, beneath a conical thatched roof. It has a wide, central, flush panelled door and flanking two-leaf timber casements, all beneath cambered arches.

Inside it is lined in white tiles with a decorative rinceau patterned frieze and slate slab shelves supported on timber brackets. The roof is horizontally boarded. The floor is tiled in black and red tiles; in the centre of the floor is a drain. The window catches are in the shape of a cow’s horn.
