Why it mattered
creamery — Station Road matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This fine example of industrial architecture demonstrates that the utilitarian nature of a structure does not mean a compromise in design and detailing. Much significant fabric has been retained to this building, which has been in continuous use since its construction. The use of corrugated-iron, together with ridge cresting and particularly the dramatic Diocletian window add interest to the structure. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
