Weighbridge, Garage And Former Fire Station, Former Sunnyside Hospital, Hillside

Hillside, formerly part of Sunnyside Hospital, is an early 20th-century single-storey building that served as a garage and fire station, originally built as a stable. The structure features a symmetrical, 5-bay design and includes a dwelling house to the southwest. It is constructed of pinned rubble with smooth ashlar margins, raised cills, and an eaves course. The window and door openings are key-stoned and segmental-arched, although they are currently boarded up. Decorative timber ridge vents add character to the roof.

The south elevation is symmetrical, showcasing a central wide entrance doorway that is segmental-arched, key-stoned, and quoined, topped with a flattened gable featuring a metal finial. On either side of the entrance are single-window bays with piended roofs. The outer bays are gabled and finialled, each with a small segmental-arched window in the gablehead.

The east elevation consists of 5 bays and is asymmetrical, with a gabled, finialled bay on the far right that has a large, altered opening. The west elevation is also asymmetrical, featuring a gable on the far left with a gable stack.

All openings are boarded, and the building has piended roofs in the centre with gabled roofs on the end bays. The raised skews and swekputts are finished with grey slates, and there are gable stacks. Some timber sash and case windows are still visible.

Inside, as seen in 2012, there is a large open space with a cobbled floor, divided by a part-glazed timber screen with sliding doors. Some openings have moulded architraves, and there are additional storage rooms with minimal decoration. The roof is boarded timber.

Additionally, there is an intact metal weighbridge located to the southeast, inscribed with "1922 to weigh 15 ton, H Pooley & Son, Ltd, Birmingham & London."
