It is a white sign on a silver metal pole with various logos and names of government organisations, with the most prominent words across the middle reading HM Coroners Service Cumbria. The gable end of a brick two-storey building with a pointed tiled roof stands at right angles to a single storey flat-roofed extension which appears to house the main entrance. Behind the smaller building is a Sainsbury's shop front. Cars are parked outside the coroners office. On the opposite side of a narrow street, with no pavement, to the right of the building building are much older two and three storey stone buildings in a terrace.
