Full Description
The Glass Store at County Hall is the surviving remains of a basement level room that was probably associated with George Statham's addition to Smedley's Hydro in c1885. 'The room is largely constructed of roughly-coursed rubble masonry but has a dressed stone external elevation of un-reinforced concrete, but there is evidence it was original [sic] stone flagged. The ceiling comprises steel beams with concrete fillers and is in poor condition. The room contains a large well with surviving remains of a belt-driven water pump that can be dated on stylistic grounds to between 1880 and 1920. No evidence of the engine that would have powered this water pump was recorded during the survey.' (1)
A photographic record was made as part of this survey. (1)
