Description

By P. Benwell, County Architect, 1973-8. Built of creamy magnesian limestone with slate roof. One and two storey blocks with monopitch roofs enclose a courtyard. Simple sturdy forms which complement the brewery. Only the segmental window arches on the block nearest to it are really derivative.
