1886 | Originally designed as stables for Oakfield Manor, these were later used as a lion house for Chester Zoo, and later for storage. They were probably designed by E. A. Ould, and have been altered since. They are constructed in brick with sandstone dressings and have a red tiled roof. The building is in one and two storeys, and has a five-bay front. Features include a semicircular archway, a circular stair turret with a hexagonal spired roof, a crow-steeped gable, and a ball finial.[3][4] |
