Description
The Cider House, located in the rear courtyard of The Folk of Gloucester, is a former workshop and warehouse that includes the walls of an 18th-century coach house, which was later used as a slaughterhouse. As of 2021, it serves as a community heritage centre. The building dates to around 1830 and has undergone alterations in the mid-20th century and early 21st century.
Constructed of brick, the Cider House features a hipped roof that was retiled in 1979. The elevation facing Quay Street is rendered. The building is a long, single-depth range aligned north to south, positioned at the south-east corner of the museum's rear courtyard.
The exterior consists of two storeys with a tall ground floor. On the west side, there is a brick dentil eaves cornice, and at the north end, a buttress was added in 1979. The west side has irregular openings, and a loft doorway is present on the first floor. The north elevation features a single window on the first floor. The south elevation, facing Quay Street, is gabled with stone coping, a timber-framed, eight-over-eight sash window on the ground floor above a blind opening, and a 12-pane timber-framed window on the first floor.
Inside, the building has an open timber roof spanning four bays, supported by collar trusses and single purlins. There is also a beam fitted in the 19th century with iron pulleys used for raising meat carcasses when the building functioned as a slaughterhouse.
