Description

Bunce's Brewery is a two-storey generator house built in 1914 for the War Department, located on the site of a former watermill on Netheravon Mill Road. Constructed of brick with a tiled roof, the ground floor features a turbine hall that occupies the entire space, supported by brick buttresses. At the north end of the east side, there is a stair tower, and an open timber-framed cable tower sits over the northeast buttress. The gable facing the road has a boarded sliding door with a segmental head and segmental-headed iron-framed windows, while the top floor dwelling has 20th-century timber windows. Inside, the turbine hall contains a pit for a Francis radial and axial water turbine, which has since been removed, along with internal buttresses that support a travelling gantry. The roof includes a louvred gablet and a copper-clad ventilator with a windvane. This building generated direct current power for the army at Netheravon camp using water power until it ceased operation around 1925.
