Building record 6559/1/7 - Possible stable or loose box

{1} The building is built of coursed and roughly squared local stone with red bull nosed brick corbels. Door and window reveals are built of local red bull nosed bricks. The roof is again modern Welsh Slate and the roof timbers themselves are modern. Internally the building is three bays, with access on the west gable and two doors on the north
wall. The eastern bays have original looking window openings, while there is also an original window opening high in the west gable. One of the windows on the southern wall overlooks building a, again suggesting that buildings post dates the others. All internal walls are brickbuilt. The bricks are laid in an English Garden Wall bond (one course of header bricks to three courses of stretcher bricks). The floors are modern poured concrete slabs.
Internally there is nothing to indicate the original use of the building, however its general layout suggests loose boxes or stabling.
