Spotted in York earlier a few months ago. A nice little building that is anonymous enough to fit in anywhere.
I think it's an electricity substation. Much prettier than the exposed ones you normally see, with some nice decorative brickwork on the corners.
Proximity to the railway makes it an even better option for modellers. Doubtless, someone could 3D print this easily enough, but as a traditional scratchbuild, I can't see anything trickier than the louvred doors.
You can enjoy the sight on Google Streeview.

One of my dafter perosnal photo projects is to take dull pictures of sub stations, in the style of the Bechers.
I would estimate that it was built around 1910? Not like some of the rubbish from the later 20th century. It appears to have been built to a high standard, and still seems in a good state of repair. A challenge to reproduce the brickwork exactly in model form!
