Buildings 4-7, stores at former Elsecar Central Workshops

The buildings comprise a range of workshop stores dating from the 1850s, built for Earl Fitzwilliam and extended by 1890. They were renovated in 1990 as part of the Elsecar Heritage Centre.

The stores are constructed primarily of well-dressed, coursed sandstone, characterized by deep horizontal tooling, with Welsh slate roofs. Later alterations incorporate brick and breeze-block, alongside some repairs and alterations to the stonework.

The buildings form a linear range opening onto a yard to the northeast, following the gentle curve of Forge Lane. A 20th-century alteration provides access through the north end of the range directly onto Forge Lane.

The northwestern third of the range consists of approximately seven bays, with the northwestern half being single-story due to the sloping ground. This section features a series of altered entrances, one passing through the range to Forge Lane, which has an iron plate lintel. The southwestern four bays have blind ground floors and National Coal Board picture windows to the first floor, with concrete sills and lintels. The end bay is topped with a coped gable. Two raised, gabled ventilators are positioned along the ridge, one at each end of this section.

The southeastern two thirds of the range continue the same rooflines and are of two stories. The western portion contains a regular row of nine inserted picture windows to the first floor, with the second-last window contained within a cross gable. The ground floor was originally open-fronted, featuring twelve bays with cast iron columns—having simple bases and capitals—supporting iron plates that formed the lintels; some columns have been replaced or supplemented with brick pillars. This section continues with five further bays that were formerly open but now have two two-light mullioned windows and a taking-in door above. The ground floor openings have generally been infilled with brick, incorporating various doorways and windows. The southern gable end has a small round window set high in the gable, retaining its cast iron frame. Patched stonework along the Forge Lane elevation suggests that it originally featured a run of approximately five small windows in the centre, along with four picture-format windows to the south.

The passageway through the northern end of the range has a broad, multi-paned window facing onto it from the adjacent bay. The southern section reveals exposed queen post roof trusses. Within the building, near the taking-in door, there is a girder-mounted winch.
