Experimental hydraulic silo (circa 1895) by Lord Armstrong. Linear plan: rectangular silage bay on each side of a taller cross-gabled centre. Interior contains a twin-cylinder hydraulic engine in the basement and turbine on the entrance level. The process proved to be inefficient in terms of manpower and was soon abandoned. The roof and rainwater goods are in a poor condition, leaving the building vulnerable.
