Description
This building is a stable and smithy, likely constructed in the mid-19th century for the London Lead Company. It is located 4 metres east of the mine shop in Middleton in Teesdale. The structure is made of coursed sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a roof of graduated stone flags, along with a stone chimney that has a brick addition. The stable is a single storey with five bays.
The first bay has boarded doors beneath a thin wooden lintel, while the third bay has a flat stone lintel. The second bay contains a small two-light opening, and the fourth bay has a larger partly-boarded opening, both with stone sills. The left sill is irregular and has two small holes, and the right sill projects and features a central iron bolt. The right bay is blank but is partly obscured by an attached shed that is not of interest. A large square ridge chimney is located to the right of the fourth bay.
