Workshop Building Immediately to East of Hartford Works

The workshop building located immediately to the east of Hartford Works was constructed around 1870. It is a three-storey brick structure with stone dressings and a roof made of Welsh slate and corrugated asbestos. The building features a 16-window range, with a central entrance on the east elevation that is framed by a rusticated stone segmental arch and an entablature. There are additional doors in what were formerly windows on the ground floor. The windows throughout the building have round-arched gauged brick heads with stone keys and springers, as well as stone sills. Most windows are fixed light casements with glazing bars, although some alterations to the glazing and lowering of sills in the upper storey have occurred. The building is adorned with a brick modillion eaves course and a stone cornice, while the gable returns are pedimented and feature an oculus in the south gable. The right-hand section of the building has a deeper plan and a flat ridge topped with seven gabled roof lights. It was likely built to support the Oxford Mill, now known as Hartford Works, and was taken over by Platt Bros. around 1900 for use as tool-fitting workshops.
