Description
The 'Tannery', located to the south-east of High Shield House, dates to circa 1770. While built by William Bell, a leather merchant in Hexham, it was likely used for processing Fuller’s Earth rather than tanning. The building is two storeys high, originally with five or six bays, and is currently undergoing conversion. It is constructed of rubble with quoins and wooden lintels. The original roof covering of pantiles remains on the south-west section. There is significant brick patching to the rubble walls, with tumbled brick detailing in the verges. A single-storey lean-to with a Westmoreland slate roof extends to the north, and a single-storey hipped extension is present to the south-west.
