An incomplete Hunter Penrose camera, consisting of a substantial mahogany, brass and iron frame, cranked length adjustment, and bellows c.3 metres long. No lenses survive and the remains are built into the fabric of the building, in so far that an adjoining room is connected by a window through which the camera projected. The large size of this camera suggests that is was used for military intelligence purposes, possible the enlargement of aerial photographs, and that it required two rooms to accommodate it.
