with a stack behind it. In each of the other bays, a 2-light casement window
with cambered brick head. In the right hand bay, the plinth is interrupted
suggesting a former doorway. 3 catslide dormers above. In the gable wall, the
framing is in square panels with arch braces, and in the gable itself, 2 inclined
