Description

KINGSLEY C.P. BLACK LANE, Whiston SK 04 NW (south side) 10/271 - Barn approx. 20m east of Stable House Farmhouse

GV II

Barn. Early to mid-C19. Moulded copper-slag blocks with sandstone ashlar dressings; tiled roof; verge parapets; 2-level plan of loft over stable and cattle shed. One loft door to right end; segmental- arch stable door to left flanked by small windows; further door to right under loft opening; lean-to against right end. A block on the left end has initials moulded in. Apart from a small shed, this group, consisting of house (q.v.) and 2 barns (q.v.) is the only example in the locality made from such an unusual material. The smelting site lay approximately 200m north and the group was possibly a model to promote a wider distribution of the blocks, which was never achieved. It is also quite conceivable that the name of the lane is derived from the extraordinary inky irridescence of the construction.
