Description

The Former Royal Naval Hospital Stables, built between 1758 and 1765, is part of the original design by Alexander Rovehead for the Navy Board. This single-storey building features red brick laid in English bond, with segmental brick arches over the windows and oak lintels above the doorways. The roof is hipped and covered with corrugated asbestos. The stables have a rectangular plan and include a four-window range with fixed lights that have glazing bars. There are three large doorways with double doors located at the center and at both ends, along with five small doorways arranged irregularly, all featuring ledged doors. Inside, the stables retain their original brick floor and simple roof trusses where inspected. This structure is part of a significant and complete military hospital complex.
