Farm building. Late C19. Probably by Paley and Austin. Squared
coursed sandstone rubble with green slate roof. The central
cart entrance, in the east wall, has a segmental arch and
surround of rock-faced sandstone. The roof is carried down
over the entrance as a slated canopy on timber brackets. There
are 2 rows of slit vents, a blocked wide entrance with plain
lintel towards the left, and a doorway at the right. On the
ridge are 2 metal ventilators. The north and south walls have
pitching holes under their gables. A lean-to against the west

openings blocked with brickwork.
HISTORY: built as part of the ancillary buildings to the Royal
Albert Idiot Asylum, now the Royal Albert Hospital (qv), which
was completed in 1873.
