          Description
              The Percy Iron Works date from the first half of the 19th century. The L-shaped block with slate roof and part of the workshop in the north-west corner of the site to the rear of 91-95 Percy Street were remnants of the iron works, but had no apparent features relating them specifically to this industry. The buildings were demolished circa 1988.
