Notes
Dance has enlivened the earlier elevation ([SM D2/8/20]) by widening the windows and turrets and enclosing the end windows in a three-storey semicircular blind arch. The skyline is now more dramatic: the parapet has battlements, the end bays have another storey added and the square lantern tower is emphasised by tall smoking chimneys.
