of the Main Building (q.v) and link it to the Great Engine House (q.v). Immediately
behind the Main Building is the original boiler house with coal store beyond, of
1836-8. When the Great Engine House was built 1845-6 a linking corridor was also
built, running to it from the east side of the boiler house. Probably c1855-9 a
second boiler house was built behind the linking corridor. 1890-91 a steam engine
house was built along the left (west) side of the Main Building with a high-pressure
boiler house behind, further (later) addition beyond that. Behind the
original coal store is 89 addition which is not of special interest. Link
corridor (south elevation) of one storey, 3 bays, has round-arched arcade with
archivolts linked by impost band, double board door up steps on left, and
2 small-pane windows. The later boiler house east elevation has 6 bays under
2 gables; below each gable a central doorway with fanlight flanked by windows in
recesses with 2 small circular windows over; left bay retains original small-pane
window, others altered; left doorway has double board door, right doorway enlarged;
openings have archivolts linked by moulded impost band; gabled ridge lights; 4-bay
north elevation has segmental-arched windows in recesses and impost band. The
1890-91 range, west elevation, of 2 and 5 bays, has chamfered black brick plinth,
board doors, 12-pane windows with pivoting casements and stone cills and lintels,
stepped eaves; porch added at left (north) end. 1836-38 Boiler House and Coal Store
largely masked by other buildings, but on east side at south end are 2 round-arched
windows with glazing bars, and inside are other oringal round-arched openings, the
coal store north wall having also pilaster butresses. The early boiler house has
iron columns, braced steel trusses, and a gabled ridge light.
