Salvatore, J. P., 1998, Animal Pound at Sidbury (Un-published). SDV348350.

Site visit 30th July 1998. Three walls of random stone with rounded coping and brick corners of a former animal pound survive on the east side of the Sidmouth Road; a fourth wall alongside the road has been rebuilt. The pound as undergone considerable modification for conversion into a bus shelter. The interior has been provided with drains and paved flooring, a roofed shelter has been constructed in the southern part and the rest of the interior has benches and flower beds. Whilst its antiquity and origin as a pound is recognised, its current use technically places the structure as a building in use. Not recommended for scheduling. The pound is well protected by its listing status and by its location within a well cared for village.
