Full Description
{1} The gatehouse, west of the main building, was constructed in 1897 (at the same time as 1160/441/1) as a male receiving ward and acommodation for short-term luntics. The original design included a padded cell. Externally, this building shares structural details with [01a]- (1160/441/1), notably the moulded brickwork at eaves level and the brick lintels constructed with two rows of headers. The south extension to this building was constructed in the late 1960's.
Internally the plan has been significantly changed following its conversion to office use, and its original layout cannot be determined. However, it seems likely that the present toilet, in the structure projecting to the west, could have been the location of the padded cell.
