Mine Shop

The Mine Shop is a lead mine lodging shop located on the north side of the track in Middleton in Teesdale, likely built in the mid-19th century for the London Lead Company. It is constructed from coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings and features a roof made of graduated stone flags. The building is two storeys high and has four bays, with a central one-storey, one-bay porch.

The outer bays and the right side of the porch have flat stone lintels above partly-glazed boarded doors. The porch has a small window in the front gable with a similar lintel and slightly-projecting stone sill, flanked by larger windows. On the first floor, there is a wide window on the left with three wooden mullions, an empty window in the second bay, a larger window in the third bay, and a boarded door in the fourth bay, all featuring flat stone lintels and slightly-projecting sills. The building has two square ridge chimneys with string courses near the top. The left return includes a first-floor loft door. Some parts of the left and right return gables are obscured by corrugated iron pent additions, which are not of interest. The building was empty at the time of the survey.
