What is recorded here

Detached two-bay single-storey Electricity Supply Board substation, built in 1949. Set within own site. Pitched slate roof. Rendered walls. Square-headed openings to front elevation with rendered surround and timber doors. Blind round-headed opening to side elevations. Date plaque to front elevation. Rendered wall with gate bounds site.
This electricity substation displays a simple design representing it utilitarian origins. The plaque with its lightening bolt motif is unexpected but appealing decoration in an otherwise very plain façade.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
