History

Built by 1877 and in use as a fitting and repair shop by this date, later becoming a joiners workshop. The range is the only surviving part of a much larger complex of buildings in existence at this date, but damaged by fire in 1952. There was rail access to this building after a new railway line was opened in 1877. The building alongside it (to the SE) was built in the 1930s as a rolling stock repair shop.

Exterior

Long rectangular building aligned NE-SW. Coursed and dressed slate slabs (and patchy earlier rubble in left hand end), roughcast gable ends. Bracketted eaves to gable-ended slate roof (replacing an earlier hipped roof). Inserted doorways in each gable end, with sliding metal doors; 2 large 3-light windows with slate lintels and sills, and inserted doorway in NW facing wall, and 7 prominent roof lights. A series of windows remains in the opposite wall, concealed by the added later range.

Interior

Interior not accessible at time of Survey.
