Description

Former explosives magazine, later 1860s or 1870s, for Bell Brothers' Skelton ironstone mines

MATERIALS: partially rendered red brick formerly with a Welsh slate roof.

DESCRIPTION: barrel vaulted structure that is buttressed at both ends which rise to form gables, with an additional pair of buttresses to the middle which support a central roof truss. The structure has a single entry sited in the eastern gable end. The brickwork was formerly rendered and covered in pitch, although this covering is now only partial. At the time of inspection, the roof structure was also fragmentary, with only some slates remaining and some rafters missing.
