Description
Originally located to the rear of 16 and 18 Church Street, Chesham, this building was dismantled in 1989 to make way for a new road. Thought to have been built in 1847, it was possibly used originally for making and repairing wheels and agricultural items. It was a two storey brick building, 26' long and 17' wide, with a gabled roof of clay peg tiles. The central section of the first floor could be raised and lowered by a winch and chains, enabling carts to be transferred from one floor to another (B1). NGR to centre of museum.
