Former Supply Reserves Depot Gatehouse and Gatepiers

Modernist single storey two room gatehouse in red brick. Flat roof is a concrete slab expressed as a string course with brick parapet above. Symmetrical façade with projecting central entrance with curved sides. Central doorway framed with raised bricks with soldier course lintel. Curved window openings to either side of this with thick concrete lintels and sills. Side doors in façade have been partly infilled with modern materials to repurpose them as windows retaining concrete lintels. Corresponding doorways in the rear have been completely infilled. Two further central lights in rear elevation with unbroken shared concrete lintel and sill, six pane steel frames separated by brick. Two steel frame windows in each side elevation. Exterior roof access ladder in the south elevation has been removed. Front door is modern replacement. Secondary mono-pitch roof constructed circa 2009.

Immediately southwest of the gatehouse stand four original gatepiers, with a taller inner pair flanking the road each with a shorter one beside each of these demarcating pedestrian access. These are brick laid in a rat trap bond with squat pyramidal concrete capstones. The original gates and railings have been replaced.

Entrance into lobby with main rooms either side. The central passageway linking the two rooms behind the lobby rear wall has been subdivided. Two central WCs set against rear wall. Refurbished for office use with north facing windows blocked off internally. Front lobby curved window opening niches with retained steel bars to the northwest facing window.
