a photograph of 1890. Large red brick square pigeon house laid in English Bond.
Pyramidal old tiled roof with curved gable to 3 faces. This is surmounted by
an elaborate glazed louvre with ogee-shaped tiled canopy having pendants which
were renewed in 1922. Moulded wooden eaves cornice. The interior contains
549 nesting boxes and 2 wooden beams with pegs used to gain access to the holes and
