Circa 1798. The building, now a display area, is single storey with five bays of roof trusses about 30 ft span making a width of 150 ft. The roof trusses are timber, some with iron tiebars, and vary in form from bay to bay. They are supported on timber beams carried on cast-iron columns of 6 1/2 –7 1/2 in. diameter, probably made in the early-19th century.
