Description:
The lead works (HER ref. 4116) site office, if it survives inside the later rebuilding, is probably the oldest upstanding structure on the site. It appears to have lain in the residential part of the original 2 acre site, and is apparently shown on the earliest map available of the site. It may have originally been built a a house rather than an office.
