Full Description
This small, brick building on Eastgate was visited by English Heritage in May 2013, as part of the Louth Defined Area Survey. The building is thought to have served as the former steam house for The Priory (see PRN 45670). It formed an important part of the villa complex, providing hot water to the house via underground pipes. It has a mono-pitched roof that is clad in corrugated iron and slants downwards to the north side, which has two 20th century doors. The west return wall faces The Priory and is more decorative as a consequence, having stepped buttresses at the corners with tumbled in brickwork, and a pair of windows with pointed arch brick surrounds. Chimney stacks rise from the south-east and north-west corners, the latter one now truncated. The south side has a 19th century four-panelled door, and the remains of two iron pipes protrude from the bottom right hand corner of the wall. On the south side is a quarry-tiled area enclosed by a low wall in modern brick. The Steam House is included as a subsidiary feature in the list description for The Priory. {1}{2}
