Dining Hall, At Hartley'S Factory

The Dining Hall at Hartley's Factory, dated 1895, is a red brick building with stone dressings and a tiled roof, originally built to serve as part of the workers' amenities. It is a single-storey structure with a basement and consists of five bays. The building features a sill band and cornice, topped by a steep roof. The three central bays have round-headed windows with two round-headed lights and two transoms, and leaded lights are positioned above the lower transom. The three joined shaped gables display the inscription "DINING", "1895", "HALL", along with reliefs of festoons and a tree. The flanking bays contain similar but shorter windows with only one transom; the left bay has been modified to accommodate a loading bay, while the other windows have louvres below. The end bays include enclosed porches with an impost band and parapet, featuring round-headed entrances with half-glazed doors. Steps leading to the entrances are flanked by brick walls with stone-coped diagonal pinnacles that are corbelled out from the angles, and the plain gables have broad stacks. Extensions to the left of the building are not of special interest.
