Kenilworth House is a conversion of a surviving stone building of the works rather than a new block: a long range with arched, small-paned windows, two storeys to Fletcher Road and three on the north side, and a sawtooth eaves course, behind a low stone wall on Fletcher Road. It is one of the two historic buildings of the works that the original planning application kept as conversions; the other is Ochre Mews, the former Boiler Shop. Unlike Ochre Mews, it is not listed: it has no entry on Historic England’s National Heritage List.
The name
Named for No. 60124 Kenilworth, a Peppercorn A1 Pacific built at Doncaster (works no. 2041) that entered service from Gateshead shed, 52A, on 23 March 1949 and was based there until September 1960 — so this is a locomotive that actually worked from the yard below the estate. Named in August 1950 after Sir Walter Scott's 1821 novel, not a racehorse: the A1s took their names from Scott's novels, racehorses and birds, unlike the Gresley A3s named for Derby and St Leger winners. Moved to Heaton, York and finally Darlington; withdrawn 27 March 1966 after seventeen years and sold for scrap to Drapers of Hull.
