Description
An irregular plan structure accessed by two tall arches with a concrete slab roof projecting from the west end of the north elevation of the Toffee Factory North Range. The north wall of the structure shows some interesting feaures. It seems to represent the south end of some sort of underbuilt structure or retaining wall possibly constructed at the time of the major excavation works accompanying the creation of the factory, to support the cottage (HER16100) above.
