Description

Bennet, Beard and Wilkins, 1946. Horizontal modern stee-framed cash register and adding machine factory. Stock brick cladding with cream-coloured concrete margins and coping. Set in extensive gardens with company bowling green and tennis court. Office block projects from W with 2-storey sides. Taller asymmetrical entrance and boardroom block as S end. Entrances deeply recessed within projecting concrete surrounds, balconies and recessed windows over (glazing pattern original to W, altered circa 1980 to S and to E). Tall stair window of glas bricks in re-entrant angle. Flat roofs. Three flagpoles.

S ELEVATION: single-storey manufacturing block with low ground floor windows puncturing high screen wall. Low flat-roofed canopied canteen with glass curtain wall projects to right. E block of factory set-back (E elevation sheet metal-clad, presumably to allow for extension. This block perhaps reconstructed a little later). Rear: Lower brick wall with occasional windows and canopied doors. Gables of saw-toothed E-lit roof. E block has wider roof span.

Windows: metal-framed 3-pane casements. Blocks to rear: similarly treated stock brick with small windows, no margins. Taller boiler house to E pierced by portholes at upper level.

LODGE to SW, also of stock brick.
