The greenhouse

The greenhouse was built against the east end of the north boundary wall. It has been demolished but much of the floor and some other features remain. The Ordnance Survey maps suggest that it was constructed between 1896 and 1913 although there appears to have been earlier structures on the site.

A watercolour by Stephanie Batstone dating from the 1970s, shown below, shows a three-quarter span roof with the short side resting against the north wall.
​
A second greenhouse was built in 1902 in the sheds area next to Pound Street.

​The greenhouse is looked at in much greater detail from the link below.
