Full Description

{1} A two-storey, three-bay workshop. The rear wall is of coursed limestone rubble up to first floor height and was probably retained from an earlier, narrower building on the site, depicted on the 1884 OS map. The new work is in brick, probably with a slate roof (now replaced by artificial slate). The entrance is in the west gable and there is a taking-in doorway in the rear wall. A central doorway in the south front may be an insertion.
