The surviving greenhouses appear to date from the second half of the 20th century, and consist of a series of low brick and concrete block walls. The original greenhouses, shown on the 1903 Ordnance Survey map are depicted as two smaller structures. The 1939 Ordnance Survey map shows that a further greenhouse or cold frame had been added to the east of the two existing structures. By the 1960s the original structures had been replaced with a linear group of greenhouses running along the northern wall, of low quality materials and construction, and which are now in a dangerous state of repair. Other details: Figure 2; plate 30.
