Description

Provender House at Skelton Park is a disused store and preparation building for horse feed, built around 1872 for Bell Brothers' Cleveland iron mines. It is constructed from good quality rockfaced sandstone ashlar with margined dressings on the front, while the rest of the building features roughly coursed rubble and brick extensions.

The building has a gabled design, consisting of two storeys and three bays. The original Welsh slate roof is no longer present, but some coping on the gables still survives. The front elevation, facing northwest, includes a basket arched cart entrance in the northern bay and a single doorway located between the windows of the two southern bays. The first floor is symmetrical, featuring a central taking-in door flanked by windows. The windows still show remnants of sash window joinery. The southern gable has joist holes indicating the location of a former timber extension that has been removed, along with an open doorway leading to the upper floor. On the side and rear, there are remains of brick-built extensions; one was a saddler's workshop, and the other served as a plant room for an electric motor. The interior of the building is currently an open shell.
