Designed by Edward Cresy (architect, 1792–1858). In the days before telephones, the service provided by the local brigade was not known for its rapid response. If there were a fire, the address of the man who had the key had to be found on a notice board, and while he was being fetched, neighbours would try to summon members of the brigade. The building is now a private residence.
