Brick Building in Pastureland to South of Tweedsmuir Camp
The exterior walls of this one room building are cement rendered and painted. Although there is no evidence of gutters ever being present, the roof is lined with felt tiles similar to those on barracks roofs in the camp. The yellow arrow points to the remains of a flue, which once emitted smoke from a coal burning stove. On the inside is a cold water stand pipe the position of which is identified by an orange arrow.
In the far right picture is shown the stand pipe mentioned above. Note the 'T' jointed side pipe which fed cold water to a tap elsewhere in the camp. The near right picture shows the remains of a flue. Above the flue remains is evidence that the wall has been charred by carbon.
Running along the whole length of the floor, in the north facing corner of the building, is a shallow gulley ...
... that terminates with a drain. Quite obviously water, from a sink perhaps, was once allowed to flow freely along the gulley and into the drain.
Whilst Crittle windows were installed in both the north and south facing walls, a door was set in each of the remaining two walls. Each wall is rendered smooth with plaster and painted, adding another comfort feature to this single room building.
This black and white photograph is of Colonel R S Timmis. It was taken in Tweedsmuir Camp on 6 August 1942. Note the configuration of the Crittle window which matches the design of the window shown in the previous picture.

The ceiling comprises an elaborate softwood, latticed framework covered with softboard sheets and finished with a lining of fire retarding material. Softboard sheets were also used to insulate the walls of barracks in Tweedsmuir Camp.
Features such as the roof tiles, window design, insulating board, stand pipe and coal burning stove are indicative of a building that once formed an integral part of Tweedsmuir Camp.
