What is recorded here

Dressed limestone walls. Ashlar limestone dressings to openings with label mouldings over windows. Extension to the rear. Cast-iron railings set on limestone plinths, with dressed limestone gates piers and cast-iron double gates.
This building forms a interesting group with the post office to the north, which was built at the same time and in a similar Tudor Gothic style. The architectural form of this building is enhanced by the masonry details, such as the dressings to the openings and the hood mouldings.
