Description

The Pound is a structure located on the north side of Grove Hill Road, dating from 1746, although it is likely from the 19th century. The building consists of three remaining walls made of red brick, with a new wall added on the south side. It is now covered by a hipped slate roof. Inside, there is an original wooden manger. The Pound, along with Nos 35 and 37, forms a group of buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 65% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 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.
