GV II
Pair of attached factory sheds. 1891. Possibly by TR Lysaght.
For J Lysaght. Pennant rubble with limestone dressings and
corrugated asbestos roof. Open plan rectangular sheds.
Romanesque Revival style. Each has 3 storey end gables;
6-window range.
Parallel sheds, the NW gable obscured by St Vincent's office
(qv): gables have broad pilasters to the sides and centre,
blind ground floor, and windows in recessed panels with
corbel-tables at the top; weathered sill bands below
semicircular-arched windows with glazing bars and linked
hoodmoulds, in groups of 3 either side of the central
pilaster, and falling in height in the second-storey parallel
to the roof. Part of a large Pennant arched entrance to the
left of centre. Silverthorne Road elevation has broad
pilasters separating groups of 3 arched windows as the front.
INTERIOR: Bath stone pillars.
HISTORICAL NOTE: TR Lysaght was briefly a partner of WB
Gingell, and the sheds share some of Gingell's arcuated
industrial style. Originally a galvanising works with a
timber-framed roof and massive Bath stone piers with hollow
lead-lined cores to protect against the sulphuric acid in the
atmosphere.
